On the Design

This antique Karabagh rug hosts an interesting, uncommon play on the classic Boteh (paisley) patterns—an eastern symbol of flame and the universe, among many cultural interpretations. This traditional style features a pink-red field enclosed in a set of floral borders in soft, colorful hues of sky blue, brown, red, and cream. Admirers of the craft will appreciate paisley rugs as historically significant to the trade, known as exemplars of craftsmanship meant to exhibit the skill of the weaver in important commissions. To wit, to see such a finely executed repeat in such a small scale as this rug’s field enjoys is a special find, marrying finesse and gentility with a mesmeric and dimensional look. Any keen eye for detail will appreciate this approach to traditional design, with its unique classic look, detail, movement, and phenomenal range of colors in kind.
