The black Tabriz Mahi has a short wool pile and a soft, warm feel under bare feet. Run your hand across it and the yarn feels natural rather than slick.

How is the black Tabriz Mahi made?

Knot by knot, by hand, in India. Its pile is 100% handspun wool tied into the warp threads, and the foundation is wool too. Handspun yarn has small irregularities, so the black shows faint variations in shade. That makes it a wool rug through and through, listed among our Wool Rugs. Because it is handmade, it can differ slightly from its stated size.

Which rooms suit the black oriental rug?

It sits well in front of a sofa, beside a bed or under a dining table. Across a lounge floor the dark ground lets the Persian-style pattern stand out, and that is why it belongs to our Oriental Rugs. Bedrooms are fine too. Heated floors are no problem. With the size guide you can work out how much of the sofa or bed should stand on it.

How do I care for the black Tabriz Mahi?

Trim any loose thread with scissors rather than pulling it. Dents from table legs lift again once the wool is dampened slightly, as our cleaning advice describes. Tabriz Mahi rugs like this one should be beaten from the back now and then and left to air.
