Description

Hand-Embroidered Pateh Tablecloth – Red Botanical Design

Bring the heritage of Persian textile art into your home with this square hand-embroidered Pateh tablecloth in vibrant red. Measuring 90×90 cm, this one-of-a-kind piece is crafted entirely by hand by women artisans from rural villages near Mahan, Kerman — the heartland of the ancient Pateh embroidery tradition.

Each motif is embroidered using naturally dyed wool threads on a traditional handwoven wool fabric known as Ariz. The dyes are extracted from natural sources such as madder root, walnut husks, and pomegranate skin, giving the colors a soft, lasting, and eco-friendly brilliance.

The embroidered patterns are inspired by Persian mythology, nature, and ancient symbolism, often featuring designs like paisleys (Boteh), cypress trees, medallions (Toranj), birds, and blossoms — each carrying meanings of life, prosperity, and endurance.

About Persian Pateh Embroidery:

Pateh is one of Iran’s most cherished traditional needlework techniques, dating back centuries and deeply rooted in Kerman province. Women artisans use colorful wool threads to stitch symbolic motifs onto wool fabric, creating stunning pieces that blend art, culture, and storytelling.

The term Pateh comes from “Pat” meaning wool or fleece, and it represents not just a textile, but the collective memory, patience, and artistry of Iranian women.

Please Note:

Due to the handmade nature and natural dyes used, slight variations in thread color or texture are expected — and cherished — as signs of authenticity and uniqueness.
