5658 · 2'8" x 8'11" Persian Botteh Runner Rug

Small boteh motifs repeat in a dense grid over this charming rug. Over a faded red field, rows of small boteh motifs repeat in a dense grid along the length. Each teardrop shape holds navy and olive marks inside, with tiny cream accents filling the gaps between the figures. The drawing runs out to the sides on every edge, with no corner pieces. The main border is steel blue, carrying small flowers and squares in cream and rust. A thin band of camel and navy separates it from the field. The pile is low in places across the orange field, where the weave shows, and the borders are fuller. It grounds the warm red and cool blue into a steady rhythm for a hallway. At 2'8" by 8'11", 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.
