About the Item

90035 Antique Persian Sarab Rug Runner, 03'04 x 14'09. Woven in the rarefied highlands of northwest Iran, this one-of-a-kind, hand-knotted wool antique Persian Sarab runner is more than a textile—it is a tailored legacy, a sacred inheritance destined for the most discerning curators of cultural excellence. Emerging from the ethereal silence of the Sarab region—long revered as a sanctuary of master weavers—this masterpiece embodies tribal prestige and symbolic sophistication, crafted for connoisseurs who understand that true luxury lies not in excess, but in intentional artistry. Reserved for elite collectors of heritage décor, it offers a gateway into a private tradition of design, story, and status, where every knot speaks in the language of lineage. The neutral tan field serves as a bespoke canvas, upon which three majestic navy blue pole medallions rise in ceremonial alignment. Each is haloed with crimson serrated leaves, stylized S-hooks, and ancient unison symbols, transforming the rug into a ritual of rhythm and refinement. These pole medallions—powerful in their symmetrical grace—embody a rare kind of beauty: one that is at once spiritually charged and compositionally arresting. The interplay of deep reds, midnight blues, and natural abrash hues in apricot and soft crimson creates a painterly elegance that only time and hand-spun wool can bestow—a patina of provenance that cannot be replicated. Every symbol in this textile serves a higher purpose. Crosses nod to faith and unity; serrated leaf bands whisper tales of endurance; and mystical tribal glyphs form a hidden lexicon of protection, fertility, and cosmic balance. Birds take flight across the field, evoking liberation and grace, while yin-yang figures and Göz amulets ground the composition in harmony and spiritual watchfulness. These visual codes—steeped in centuries of oral tradition—offer a curated experience of meaning, available only to those who collect not for ornament, but for story, rarity, and stewardship. The architectural border, meticulously rendered in tribal geometrics, elevates this runner into the realm of couture home décor. Guard bands—one echoing flowing water, the other a crenellated fortress—frame the work in symbolic permanence. Their presence evokes a sense of sanctuary, where every element is intentional, protective, and poised. This is a piece not meant for ubiquity, but for placement in gallery-grade interiors, where emotional resonance and narrative depth are prized as highly as visual impact. It is decorative power with ethical soul, woven for spaces that celebrate heritage and handcraft in equal measure. To acquire this rare Sarab runner is to become a guardian of tradition and a patron of endangered artistry. It is a conscious act of collecting that reflects refined taste, social conscience, and aesthetic conviction. More than a design element, it is a living heirloom of symbolic value, bridging past and future with poise, permanence, and purpose. In a world saturated with the transient, nothing speaks louder than the quiet confidence of something truly rare. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'04 x 14'09.
