Ivory Herati
The piece
Ivory Herati sets a close, all-over herati repeat on an ivory field: small rosettes held in diamond lattices, each flanked by curling leaf forms in cocoa brown, espresso and a touch of slate blue. A wide chestnut border carries palmettes between narrow dotted guard bands, giving the long format a firm, warm frame. It suits a hallway, a landing or the space beside a bed, where the fine repeat reads best up close.
