This is a tribal scatter rug that has lived a long and beautiful life! This antique Caucasian beauty dates back to the late 19th century, hailing from the rugged mountainous region near the Caspian Sea.
Woven entirely from 100% vegetable-dyed wool, its natural colors have aged gracefully over more than a century. The dark ground field is scattered with playful, multi-colored paisleys, often called boteh or "seeds of life", all throughout the field. Surrounding the field is an ivory border filled with geometric tribal motifs that alternate in color and showcases a rhythm.
Measuring approximately 3'x5', this rug is deliciously floppy, ultra-pliant, and undeniably "love worn". It boasts that authentic shabby chic aesthetic that only real history, time, and wear can create. It’s a soulful, character-filled treasure ready to bring warmth and story to any space it calls home. make sure to grab a custom cut pad, to give it grip. Link is below.
