4'6 x 6'9 Persian-Style Mir Boteh Rug | Serabend Paisley Design | Vintage Afghan Hand-Knotted Wool, Cream & Red

About this rug

Neat rows of boteh — the original paisley — march across a cream-ivory field in this vintage rug woven in the Persian Serabend (Mir-i-Boteh) design tradition. Each burgundy boteh is finely drawn and filled with tiny blossoms in teal, green, and rose, while a delicate floral meander border in soft blue-grey frames the field, edged in madder red. Hand-knotted in wool by Afghan weavers with a soft pile, it measures 4'6 x 6'9 — a graceful size for a bedroom, hallway entry, or study. The light ground and intricate small-scale pattern give it an airy, antique elegance rarely found at this size.
