About the Item
Joyous Mother- Daughter Boteh Village Antique Rug
About: When you think of old village rugs woven in remote lands - you think of women working on this mystical art while watching their kids as the men are also hard at work farming, in the markets, or elsewhere. This piece is a sophisticated Mother-Daughter Boteh design, boteh meaning seed, and mother-daughter because the entire rug has large boteh/seed motifs (representing the mother), all accompanied by another smaller boteh/seed motif (representing the child). Art can not get more beautiful than this, both symbolically and visually. The meaning behind this is pure love, the strongest love, the love of a mother and child. So does this mean that the mother and daughter worked on this rug together? Perhaps, but the workmanship is too good to suggest that a kid had this amount of skill, so perhaps it was dedicated to their child or the woman that wove this rug was pregnant, or that the child helped to bring the dyed wool to the mother while she was working on this piece. We will never know, but either way, you look at it - the love rings true - and when you look at the number of colors in this piece and the amount of work it took to not only weave but to constantly change yarns from one color to another - it is mindblowing. And for this reason, rug weaving is arguably one of the most difficult and challenging art-forms today. This is art inspired by pure love; a mother-daughter boteh antique hand-knotted gem.

View AllNaive Halvi Bidjar Rug, Late 1800's
Located in Milwaukee, WI
Naive Halvi Bijar Mystical Energy-Filled Art from the Spiritually Connected Weavers
About: One of my All-time favorite pieces ever - for the rug nerds, collectors, and lovers out there - you know there is something mystical and special about the true wool-on-wool bidjars woven by some of the most resilient and creative weavers of all time. Not only the people, but the rugs themselves are so nomadic given that their materials are organic wool pile and foundation along with the most vivid and natural dyes. Insanely unique variations of pale blues that shift a tad darker or light and then to a blue-green with pops of sunflower yellows and nice rich yet mature reds. The size alone puts this into the turn of the century category, and then the naive deconstructed Water Garden, or Herati, design seems to keep the eyes guessing and the soul happy. You can tell this piece was woven from pure imagination with no template or planning - just sitting down and weaving a magical textile that most likely took 6-12 months and possibly alongside family creating this divine and energy-filled beauty together! This is the epitome and splendor of antique rugs and old-world village art!!
