About the Item

Antique Persian Sarab Wool Runner Size: 3'2" × 19'10" (96 × 604 cm) This exquisite antique Sarab runner, handwoven in Persia circa 1880, is a masterclass in tribal artistry and geometric elegance. Characterized by its elongated proportions and finely detailed motifs, the rug showcases a central ivory field punctuated by a dynamic series of large, interconnected diamond medallions. These motifs are framed by serrated outlines and filled with stylized floral and angular tribal elements in rich tones of madder red, deep indigo, camel, and hints of soft green and ivory. The composition is anchored by a series of narrow borders, each rendered with meticulous precision. The main border features an intricate vine and flower pattern, while the inner and outer guards are adorned with repeating geometric forms that create rhythmic balance. This layering of borders not only frames the central design but amplifies the runner's sense of depth and movement. Crafted from hand-spun wool and dyed using natural pigments, this runner boasts a robust, earthy palette typical of the Sarab weaving tradition. Its durability and sophisticated yet rustic aesthetic make it an ideal piece for hallways, galleries, or transitional spaces seeking a touch of authentic, timeworn elegance. A testament to 19th-century Persian craftsmanship, this Sarab runner is both a decorative statement and a functional piece of textile heritage. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
