{"product_id":"boteh-mir-rug-red-ivory-3x5ft","title":"Vintage Boteh Mir Rug | 3' 5\" × 4' 11\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis semi-antique rug from regions near Arak city is built around the quiet persistence of a small motif. Tiny boteh (paisley) repeats across the red field until they create an almost textile-like texture. From across a room you see a warm, closely patterned surface; nearby, the individual shapes become the attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light corners and stepped outline give that dense repeat a clear shape. Their angular edges contrast with the curves of the boteh, while the layered borders introduce a larger scale of decoration. It is this relationship between a finely worked centre and a more emphatic perimeter that gives the rug its distinctive balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt three feet five inches by four feet eleven inches, it could bring a concentrated area of colour to a reading corner, a bedside or the space in front of a cabinet. Cream fabric would pick up its lighter details, while warm timber could sit comfortably with the red. Keeping some of the corners and border exposed would preserve the composition's pleasing outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarband lies near Arak in Iran's Markazi province, within a region whose village weaving became closely connected to the expanding carpet trade of the late nineteenth century. The pattern has a particularly relevant local association: a Persian study of boteh distinguishes the small boteh mir forms used in Saraband and Mal Mir carpets around Arak, also known as Mir or Mir Saraband. That connection between place and pattern adds another dimension to the tiny repeating paisley forms in this rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1940s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Markazi province, Persia\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3' 5\" × 4' 11\" (approximately 104 × 150 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rug the Rock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51479721443545,"sku":"14103","price":820.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/1460\/8857\/files\/rtr-10389828108505-approved-hero-20261105-3x4.png?v=1793912716","url":"https:\/\/rugtherock.com\/fr\/products\/boteh-mir-rug-red-ivory-3x5ft","provider":"Rug the Rock ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
