Fine Classic Persian Medallion & Herati-Repeat Carpet, Finest Selected Merino wool pile Decorative lineage: East Persia, Khorasan Pahlavi Court & Mashhad Master Workshop. Concentric Central Medallion & Herati field design. This exceptional drawing room carpet employs a superbly fluent expression of the herati repeat pattern in an approach associated with the traditional carpets of Khorasan in North East Persia, in which the design flows over the field and through each section of the focal medallion lozenge, to produce an effect of highly pleasing decorative unity. Carpets of this type are much sought-after in the West, combining as they do an elegantly traditional visual style, wonderfully mellow and harmonious colouring and an extremely firm, durable structure which makes them ideal accoutrements to the busiest areas in substantial private homes. The exceptional destiny of knotting in superbly lustrous imported merino wool which is exhibited in this specimen, together with the grace with which its design is rendered and its harmony of colour, do make it an exceptional specimen of its type.
