One of the favorite west Persian Malayer patterns is the allover Herati of open diamonds, rosettes, palmettes, and ‘fish’ leaves, which works best on a dark blue ground. Here it is framed effectively by a madder red main border of reversing turtle palmettes which seem a little unsteady, but charmingly so, accented in the sand, light straw, and medium blue. Cotton foundation, symmetric knots. Good condition except for slight end reduction. less
