With its geometric pattern, subdued colors and time-worn composition, this hand knotted wool distressed antique Persian Design gallery rug embodies a rustic craftsman style. It features a stepped central lozenge medallion flanked with long extended arrows at each of the four tips. An all-over Herati pattern is spread across the abrashed field. The Classic Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or Fish pattern, is amongst the most widespread and well known of all Persian designs, consisting of a flower centered in a diamond accompanied by curving lanceolate leaves that resemble fish. Spandrels in each corner echo the central diamond medallion motifs. It is enclosed with a series of geometric borders composed of tribal motifs, carnation Meander guard bands, sawtooth and Vitruvian scroll running dog border stripes. Effortlessly chic and elegantly understated combined with rustic refinement, this antique Turkish rug will charm with ease.
