Taleghan rugs have [[Geometric Design|semigeometric]] designs in a [[Medallionn Design|medallion]] or [[Allover Design|allover]] style. Field designs include dirional Boteh (paisley) or [[Herati Design|Herati]] (fish) featuring a variety of tribal motifs. In the medallion style, the center has a lozenge-shaped or hexagonal motif with stylized quadrants in each corner of the field.
