At its heart lies a concentric ivory medallion adorned with Herati motifs, gracefully anchored by ivory palmette pendants that lend a touch of sophistication to the composition. Elaborate diagonal ivory components emanate from the corner spandrels, echoing the intricate Herati designs from the central medallion and infusing the rug with depth and visual appeal. Against a vibrant red backdrop, the allover geometric pattern unfolds, showcasing a delightful repertoire of Herati motifs that dance harmoniously across the surface, creating a mesmerizing tableau of artistry. The Classic Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or Fish pattern, stands as one of the most renowned and widespread of all Persian designs, characterized by a central flower nestled within a diamond and accented by gracefully curved leaves reminiscent of swimming fish. This symbolic motif, steeped in Persian tradition, is believed to evoke the image of small fish swimming beneath the moon's reflection, adding a layer of mystique and allure to the rug's enchanting design. With its genteel and regal color palette, this vintage Persian Tabriz rug exudes a sense of opulence and refinement, offering a luxurious accent to elevated traditional furnishings.
