A cream diamond shape holds a red rosette and four hooked arms on this lovely rug. At the center, a cream diamond shape holds a red rosette and four hooked arms on a deep red field. Small beige boteh shapes repeat in diagonal rows across the ground, filling the space around the central figure. Beautiful beige spandrels at the four corners carry larger deep red boteh motifs that point inward toward the middle. The main border runs red with beige geometric bands along its edges. A few patches look pale where the weave has worn across the red ground. It holds a warm red note in a small passage without taking over the space. At 2'10" by 5'6", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside 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.
About Botteh rugs
Mughal emperors promoted and exported textiles decorated with the boteh, which were much appreciated in Europe. In termeh, a luxurious woven cloth of Persia, the boteh was the most common design. Botteh names a motif, the teardrop with the bent tip that Europe later borrowed and called paisley. The boteh is the organizing figure of rugs cataloged this way, repeated across the field in rows. This rug carries the figure across the red ground, with the small teardrops set in a steady diagonal rhythm. A single large diamond medallion anchors the middle, gathering the eye before it moves out to the scattered field pattern.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
