4040 · 3'3" x 10' Persian Botteh Runner Rug

Charming boteh figures in red, pink and ochre repeat in rows across the field. Rows of small boteh figures in red, pink and ochre repeat across the field, which reads charcoal from across the room and dark navy up close. There is no medallion, only this all-over pattern of the paisley leaf-drop marching down the length. The gorgeous border sets angular geometric figures in dark blue and red on cream, between terracotta bands. Narrow guard stripes of dark blue carry small rosettes and vine segments on either side. The pile is low in places, and the foundation shows in scattered patches across the face. It anchors a narrow passage, and the warm border frames the dark ground. At 3'3" by 10', it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
