An unusually small Heriz rug with attractive abrash across its field, all the way from baby blue to sky blue then navy blue. Such sprawling patterns, leafy and sporadic, are termed π«ππππ§ππ in Persian, explaining the etymology of the commonly used word for 'sampler'. It is debatable whether the present carpet, beautiful and irrepressible as it is, is actually a sampler. It has a truly unique visual and frankly odd size.
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
