Herati carpet

A Herati carpet is a traditional Persian rug style known for its distinctive pattern featuring a central diamond or rhombus shape, often with a stylized floral motif such as a lotus or palmette inside. Surrounding the diamond are small, repeating motifs like fish or floral elements, creating a complex and balanced design. These carpets are typically made of wool and display rich, vibrant colors like deep reds, blues, and golds. Originating from the Herat region in Afghanistan, they are valued for their intricate craftsmanship, harmonious patterns, and durability, making them a popular decorative and functional textile.
