Description

This design is characterised by repeated teardrop or paisley-shaped motifs, known as boteh, filling the central field of the rug.


Key Characteristics



Pattern: The all-over repeating boteh motif is prominent in the red field, often interpreted as a symbol for life or a flame.

Colour:
The dominant red colour, which can represent passion, joy, and courage in Persian rugs, is a classic choice.

Construction:
The presence of visible, natural-looking fringes that appear to be an extension of the rug's foundation (warp threads) shows this to be a hand-knotted piece,

Origin:
The "Mir" pattern is often associated with rugs from the Sarouk region in West Persia


This type of rug is valued for its traditional elegance and durability and can last for generations with proper care.
