60872 Distressed Antique Persian Tabriz Rug with Rustic Gustavian Style 09'02 x 13'06. Softer yet no less striking, this hand knotted wool antique Persian Tabriz rug beautifully embodies Gustavian style and Swedish simplicity. The weathered field features all-over Herati pattern comprised of an array of botanical motifs in an elegant display of large palmettes, vines, rosettes, florets, lanceolate leaves, and curling tendrils. It is enclosed in a botanical arabesque border flanked with a double inner and outer meander guard band. The Classic Herati design, also known as the Mahi or Fish pattern, is amongst the most widespread and well known of all Persian designs, consisting of a flower centered in a diamond accompanied by curving lanceolate leaves that resemble fish. The Herati motif is widely used in Iran and believed to represent the small fishes come up just beneath the surface of the water to swim in the full moons reflection. Em
