Bohemian Persian Rugs
BOHEMIAN STYLE
Defying design conventions and embracing all tastes, Bohemian style, or Boho style, is eclectic, bold and, above all, individual. Vintage Bohemian-style furniture and decor feature bright colors, natural materials and a global spirit, ranging from statement pieces such as peacock chairs constructed with wicker and handmade art-glass vases to jewel-toned plush seating like turquoise sofas.
Although Bohemian furniture is not rooted in a specific time and can include Victorian lamps alongside Space Age chairs, its name dates back to the 19th century. Its exact origins are unclear, with some sources linking it to a counterculture formed in the wake of the French Revolution and others to a pejorative for the Romani people in France who were erroneously believed to be from Bohemia, which was part of what is now the Czech Republic.
By the 1850s, “bohemian” was used to describe someone who led an itinerant life, usually an artist, actor or author. This helped shift the term from disparaging to something romantic and evoking creativity, culture and travel. In the 20th century, to be a bohemian was fashionable, and the celebration of free expression in the 1960s gave the Bohemian style a hippie flair. It has remained popular over the years, especially with younger generations seeking to express their personality and individual perspective through furniture, folk art, antiques and other collectibles.
A Bohemian interior exuberantly mixes textures and patterns, particularly through textiles from around the world in tapestries, rugs and upholstery. Bohemian decor can include Japanese shibori, Indonesian ikat and Kazakhstani suzani prints mingling with Moroccan lanterns, Turkish carpets and wall hangings from India. Saturated earthy colors like burnt orange and marigold yellow are common to bring together the mix of vintage, modern and global design.

Vintage Persian Azerbaijan Hallway Runner with Warm, Bohemian Bungalow Style
Located in Dallas, TX
76527, vintage Persian Azerbaijan hallway runner with warm, Bohemian Bungalow style. Rich symbolism woven in pastel hues create uniquely feminine tribal vibe in this vintage Persian Azerbaijan runner. Ram's horns, Hands on Hips (elibelinde), Fertility (bereket), running arrows, diamonds, eight-pointed stars, animals, and hooked motifs create an all-over geometric pattern that fills the abrashed field. The Classic Elibelinde motif, also known as the “hands on hips” or goddess motif, is thought to represent motherhood and fertility while ram’s horns represent masculinity and power. The fertility bereket motifs that appear combine the symbols of both man and woman, often referred to as ram’s Horn and hands-on-hips motifs, into one design with a diamond in the centre. Traditionally, the S-shape symbols represents hooks, diamonds represent eyes, and eight-point stars are for protection. All of these symbols are seen to protect against evil. Meanwhile an elegant arrangement of simple outlined blossoms and angular tendrils form a dynamic primary border. Long necked animals appear at intervals affronted and with heads pointing towards each other. Rows of diamonds and triangles are found in inner and outer guard borders and serve to further unify the composition. This vintage Azerbaijan carpet runner displays a charming visual appeal and intimate patina on a time-softened color palette with significant abrash and color gradations. With its rich symbolism and timeless style, this vintage Persian runner would be a warm and inviting presence in nearly any interior. Perfect for a hallway, entry, corridor, living room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen, walkway, bathroom, foyer and long entryway. Well-suited for a wide range of interior styles: Traditional, Transitional, Eclectic, Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Industrial, Rustic, Lodge, Cabin, Cottage, Bungalow, Arts & Crafts, Craftsman, Tudor, English Country, Swedish Farmhouse, Shabby Chic, French Country, Manor House, Art Deco, Mission, Spanish Revival, Mediterranean, Bohemian, Boho Chic, Nomadic, and Tribal.
