6x9 Persian-Style Shiraz Boteh Design Rug | Hand-Knotted Wool | Green Field Paisley & Medallion Column | Vintage Afghan

About this rug

A soft sage-green field sets this vintage hand-knotted rug apart, scattered all over with tiny boteh (paisley) buds around a slender column of stepped, connected medallions in ivory and rust - a layout drawn from Persian-style Shiraz tribal weaving. Fine floral guard stripes and a boteh-filled main border repeat the theme outward to the edges. Years of gentle use have lightened the pile to a muted, almost watercolour palette of green, camel and faded red that feels calm and collected. Roughly 6 by 9 feet, it is a versatile mid-size rug for a bedroom, living room or study. Hand-knotted in wool and entirely one of a kind.
