HOT ! Antique Persian Rug / 3x5 Scatter Rug #3616

This soulful Persian rug, woven at the turn of the 20th century is filled with an allover boteh motif — also known as the \"flame\" or \"seed of life\" design — repeated across a navy to midnight blue wool ground that has gracefully faded over time.

Each boteh contains small internal motifs that resemble tiny floral clusters or sprouting leaves, adding to the sense of growth and movement traditionally tied to this pattern. This isn’t just decoration — the boteh has long been regarded as a symbol of life, fertility, and divine energy in Persian art.

This rug is well worn, with areas of wool loss, particularly on one end — a beautiful indicator of its journey through generations. The width varies slightly from 3\'4\" to 3\'8\", as is typical of handmade rugs, a great indicator that this heirloom is old and handwoven. The result? A piece with character, irregular charm, and a clear story woven into every inch.

Crafted with vegetable-dyed wool, this rug is soft, low pile, and full of life despite its wear. Great for collectors, old-soul homes, or anyone who appreciates the raw elegance of an heirloom textile. Please see up close pics for full character and condition.

Exact size: 3\'4\" - 3\'8\" x 5\'
