A Persian rug of vibrant, generous colour: diagonal rows of botéhs cross the navy-blue field in a fantastic array — salmon, red, royal blue, beige, sand, khaki — and within each teardrop the artist placed a stylised flower, so that the whole surface reads as an orchard in procession. The main border showcases geometric star panels, while vines interconnect flowers along the outer band. Antique and full of life, this Hashtrood proves how joyfully northwest Persia interpreted the ancient botéh. Find a space for this work of art — it will repay you daily.
A narrow runner over 4.6 metres long, with full pile and impeccable dyes — the double scarcity premium (width and length) most valued by American dealers in 19th-century runners.
