Story Behind the Art: The Herati motif originated in the historic city of Herat, northwestern Afghanistan, a major center of the Persian Empire. This design features a central rosette encased within a diamond, flanked by four curved leaves often interpreted as “fish” motifs, repeated in a detailed lattice pattern across the rug field. The Herati design was widely adopted in Iranian weaving centers including Tabriz, Mashhad, and Hamadan, with regional variations adding uniqueness. Celebrated for its symmetry, balance, and classical elegance, the Herati motif embodies centuries of Persian weaving tradition and remains a symbol of heritage and refinement in both antique and contemporary rugs.
