Herati carpets are characterised by unique small geometric patterns with a diamond-shaped centre surrounded by small flowers or rosettes and fish-like leaves, sometimes referred to in Persian as 'mahi', or 'fish'.
This geometric design is repeated evenly throughout the carpet, especially on the borders, giving it a balanced look. There are no specific rules for the colours of Herati carpets, so each carpet reflects the sensitivity and uniqueness of its artisan.
Herati design carpets can add an exquisite accent to your interior design. By choosing a carpet pattern or design that matches the main décor, furniture, and art in the room, the overall atmosphere of the room will be enhanced. In particular, in a simple space, placing a Herati carpet with a colorful center will instantly act as an accent for the room.
Herati designs are also found in many other Persian carpet styles, including Tabriz, Abadeh, Bijar, Hamadan, Sarouq and Malayyyah.
