From circa 1920, this gallery size at 4’9 x 9’10 is a generous rectangular proportion that works great in center-hall entries, beneath a console in a wide corridor, or in a spot that really needs the love of this particular shape to make the moment. The field is midnight navy, and it is covered from edge to edge in a small-scale \u003cem\u003eboteh\u003c\/em\u003e which are teardrop-shaped paisley forms that have been woven into Persian rugs for centuries, each one a tiny world of rust, terracotta, dusty pink, coral and sky blue, arranged in orderly diagonal rows across its dark ground. The effect from a distance is like starfield...a deep cosmos of repeating motifs that draws the eye in and holds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe border is a layered system of ivory ground stripes carrying a sinuous vine and what I see as a \u003cem\u003ecaterpillar\u003c\/em\u003e design with small hooked paisleys on an ivory ground, flanked by narrow rust guards. It frames the field without competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug has lived. There is scattered wear across the field, it's had a century of the good life on its vegetable dyed wool. There is a darker spot on the side border, noted and photographed. The construction underneath remains stout and solid. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Rug Rundown…                                                               \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ethe wool…the weave…the wear  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 4’9 x 9’10\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Vegetable dyed wool\u003cbr\u003eConstruction: Hand-knotted, stout and solid foundation with low, even pile\u003cbr\u003eAge: Circa 1920s\u003cbr\u003eDesign: All-over small-scale boteh (paisley) on midnight navy ground; ivory border with caterpillar vine and rust guards\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Low pile, scattered wear throughout. one spot on side border; foundation solid, edges intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(112, 110, 124);\"\u003e:: Please consider a rug pad for this old beauty, to keep it protected and wiggle free.
