About the Item

This antique Northwest Persian rug features a rhythmic field of repeating boteh motifs—stylized paisley shapes often seen as symbols of fertility and rebirth—arranged across a richly saturated brick-red ground. The pattern is intricately framed by multiple borders including ivory, indigo, and saffron tones, each filled with geometric tribal devices and angular vines. The hand-knotted weave is tight and consistent, embodying the skilled craftsmanship of tribal weavers from the mountainous regions of northwest Iran. The saturated natural dyes lend a luminous quality to the palette, while gentle wear and abrash create a sense of authenticity and age. Bold yet refined, this piece brings cultural depth and timeless character to any space.
