Authentic Hand-Knotted Persian Moud Rug – Herati (Mahi) Design with Silk Highlights Item No 38

Introduce refined Persian elegance into your home with this exquisite hand-knotted Moud rug, a true symbol of craftsmanship and heritage. Originating from the Khorassan region of northeastern Iran, Moud rugs are celebrated for their fine knot density, intricate detailing, and luxurious aesthetic.

This exceptional piece features a beautifully balanced central medallion, surrounded by the renowned Herati (Mahi) pattern—a dense, repeating motif often referred to as the “fish design.” In Persian tradition, this pattern symbolizes luck, prosperity, and continuity, making it both meaningful and visually captivating.

The field is enriched with intricate floral and vine elements, while subtle silk highlights are woven into the design to enhance depth and brilliance. As light moves across the surface, these silk accents create a gentle shimmer, adding a sophisticated and high-end finish to the rug.

The color palette combines classic Persian red (madder) and deep midnight navy, complemented by elegant accents of ivory, sage, and terracotta. This harmonious combination allows the rug to anchor modern interiors with warmth or elevate traditional spaces with timeless charm.
