Antique Persian Hand-knotted Rug with All-over Boteh Design

1900 - 1920
Description

A decorative antique Persian hand-knotted wool rug, likely originating from North-West Persia, possibly Bijar or the surrounding weaving districts, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The rug features a richly patterned all-over field of repeating boteh (paisley) motifs set against a deep indigo ground, enclosed within a series of finely detailed geometric and stylised floral borders in ivory, terracotta, navy and soft muted tones.

The restrained all-over design makes this an especially versatile furnishing carpet, sitting comfortably in both traditional and more contemporary interiors.

Hand-knotted in wool with the robust construction associated with Persian workshop weaving, the rug shows honest age-related wear and fading consistent with use, giving it a mellow decorative character.

A genuine antique furnishing rug with strong decorative appeal.

Condition:

Visible overall wear, areas of pile reduction and age-related fading commensurate with age and use.

FAQs

A Persian Boteh rug is a traditional hand-knotted carpet featuring a repeating teardrop or paisley motif known as the boteh, which symbolises life, eternity, and nature in Persian textile design.

These textiles are crafted using hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a cotton or wool foundation grid, frequently utilising natural plant and mineral dyes to achieve deep terracotta, navy, and ochre tones.

Authentic hand-knotted carpets display clear knotting on the reverse side mirroring the front pattern, soft colour variations known as abrash, and slight natural asymmetries in the woven structure.

Position the rug as an anchoring textile in a living area or study, pairing its warm terracotta hues with neutral linen upholstery, rich timber furniture, or polished floorboards.

Vacuum gently in the direction of the pile without using a rotating beater bar, blot liquid spills immediately with a dry cloth, and place a quality rug underlay beneath to prevent uneven wear.
