Item History & Price
A beautiful antique traditional 100% Wool Handmade & Hand Knotted Herati rug from Ser-e band district Persia. Now Iran. Also, selling other rugs, etc.
The motifs on Herati rugs are taken from old Mongolian-Turkish design: a geometric base normally featuring one flower with four leaves repeating across the carpet. This pattern originated somewhere around the late 15th century from North-western Afghanistan/Iran in the city of Herat.

NOT FADED, BUT natural dyes has variation in colour, because of this and handmade aspect....also took photos after just washed....This design has a paisley look, or trees and the main colour is a slightly muted red tinged pink (slightly paler than the photos and more on the pink side than red), with cream, reds, blues, yellows and greens, etc.
