The serrated corner spandrels harmoniously echo the stylized motifs found within the field, adding to the rug's overall coherence.

Enhancing the rug's elegance are delicate carnation meander guard borders, flanking a stunning Herati-style main border adorned with large open blossoms. These borders elegantly frame the field, drawing together colors from throughout the rug into a unified and harmonious composition.
