Herati is a repeating carpet pattern, not a single place-of-weaving label. A common unit places a rosette within a diamond, with palmettes at the corners and curved or sickle-shaped leaves around it. In Persian usage the pattern is also called mahi, or fish, because those surrounding leaves can be read as fish-like forms.
The name has a historical association with Herat, but scholarship does not treat that association as proof that every rug with the pattern was designed or woven there. The design spread widely and developed regional variations across Persian weaving centers.
Compare Regional Interpretations
The current selection includes available Persian rugs from several regional groups. Bidjar or Bijar, Mood Birjand, Ardabil, Hamadan, Hosseinabad, Nanaj, Sarouk, Tabriz and Moud labels can appear in this pattern-led collection, along with both area-rug and runner formats. This range shows why the motif should be separated from origin and construction when comparing rugs.
Some interpretations are compact and geometric, while others use finer curves or place Herati units around a medallion. Confirm the exact dimensions, attributed origin, construction, fibre, age, condition and repairs on the product page. The pattern name alone cannot establish any of those facts.
