Story Behind the Art: Herati rugs are among the most recognized and admired patterns within Persian rug traditions. Unlike rugs named after specific cities, such as Tabriz or Heriz, Herati designs are not tied to a single geographic origin. Instead, they represent a classic and iconic group of motifs found across major Persian rug types, including Isfahan, Tabriz, and Feraghan, among others. The design is often referred to as “Mahi” or “fish,” symbolizing a fish in a pond. The Mahi motif typically features a central rosette enclosed within a diamond, with serrated acanthus leaf patterns along each side. These details often mimic the appearance of fish in motion, complete with polychromatic stripes, eyes, and lifelike characteristics. Thanks to its four-way symmetry, the Mahi motif can be seamlessly repeated to create a captivating allover kaleidoscopic pattern or can be showcased individually as a striking central element. This flexibility, combined with its timeless elegance, has made the Herati design a mainstay in Persian rug artistry.
