"European Rug Herati Design" Crocheted Tetex rug made in Germany, Herati design. Mid 20th century. This quirky pattern is made up of palmettes and flowers, it looks like it's just part of a bigger whole. Very similar palmettes, drawn in a curvilinear fashion and combined with identical forked leaves, can be seen on a few examples of workshop carpets made from the end of the 17th century in Herat, in the province of Khurasan, Eastern Persia. The same pattern, known as the Harshang design, was also used in the Caucasus in the 18th century. The pattern uses richly intricate floral repeating networks of palmettes and flowers in the brilliant colors of so-called Herati motifs, which make it a direct descendant of the large 17th-century vase-technique rugs found in various museums throughout. the world.
