Description

A dark slate-teal ground carries an allover repeat of upright paisley forms in warm amber-gold and pale silver-grey, each one filled with fine internal detail and small floral fillers between them. The border runs three bands deep in the same dark ground, carrying a floral vine in amber-gold. Strong horizontal abrash moves across the teal field in visible bands, the natural result of wool dyed in batches by hand.

A note on the dye

Madder root, soaked five days, simmered three.

The red you see in the field is not one red. It is seven dye lots, each pulled at a slightly different hour from the same copper vat,the variation lives only in the wool, never in the recipe.

Bring the room into the rug - never the other way around.

A rug is sized to read once, in full, as you walk past it. The longer sizes tell a different story across a whole room.

Asked & answered

Questions you'd want to ask.

Plain answers about the wool, the loom, and what the rug does over years of use.

Boteh · the asked & answered
The dark slate-teal ground shows strong abrash. Is this consistent across all sizes of this design?

Abrash is inherent to hand-knotted wool production and appears in every piece, though the specific horizontal tonal shifts vary between individual rugs. It is not a defect. The wool pile structure remains even and durable across abrash and non-abrash zones. The variation is most visible in raking light and from a distance, and settles visually once the rug is placed in a room.

This is a dense allover pattern. What furniture arrangement lets the design read well?

The paisley repeat has no single axis, so furniture placement is flexible. For the 9x12, placing the sofa with front legs on the field allows the full border to remain visible on three sides. The 10x14 suits a full seating group within the field. In both cases, keeping the three-band border unobstructed by furniture gives the rug its proper edge.

Does the dark wool ground require any different care than a lighter-coloured rug?

Dark wool grounds can transfer slight colour onto very light fabrics when wet, so use a colourfast cloth when blotting spills. Otherwise, care is the same as any hand-knotted wool rug: vacuum on low suction without a beater bar, rotate annually, and have it professionally cleaned once a year. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can shift deep dye tones over time.
