Made in India during the 1950s, this handmade wool rug features an ivory field densely patterned with small boteh motifs in red, blue, and soft green. The repeating design creates a delicate rhythm, framed by a rich red border of angular vines and stylised floral details.
Design and Craftsmanship
The boteh motifs repeat across the ivory field with a delicate, rhythmic precision, each one rendered in the confident hand of a skilled weaver. The red, blue, and soft green palette plays beautifully against the light centre, giving the dense pattern an airy quality rather than a heavy one. A rich red border of angular vines and stylised floral details frames the field with warmth and definition.
Material and Character
The rug is hand-knotted in wool, with a pile that carries the texture and warmth only handmade pieces offer. Narrow blue bands bring definition to the composition, contrasting beautifully with the light centre and completing the framing with an authentic, finished look.
Condition
In good vintage condition, with the pile, borders, and fringes presenting well for its age. Please review the photos carefully, as they form part of the description.

Why It's Special
This rug pairs an unusually light ivory field with dense boteh patterning, a combination that reads delicate and bright rather than dark and heavy.
