Size: The carpet measures 9 feet 2 inches in width by 12 feet 10 inches in length, making it a substantial and room-sized piece.
Design: The carpet features an all-over Herati design, a classic and intricate pattern widely used in Persian rugs. The Herati motif often symbolizes fish swimming beneath the surface of water in the moonlight.

Quality: Bijar rugs, including this one, are known for their exceptional quality and durability. They are characterized by their dense and strong pile, typically woven with a high knot count. This particular carpet is noted for its soft and durable wool due to its higher knot count.
Symbolism: Persian rugs often incorporate symbolism, and in this case, the Herati motif carries cultural significance, representing fish in moonlight reflection. This adds depth and meaning to the carpet's design.
Condition: The carpet is described as being in very good condition and has been professionally cleaned. Well-preserved antique rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
