About the Item

Beautiful early 20th century Persian Farahan Sarouk wide runner in a geometric pattern. Farahan Sarouk rugs are highly prized for their exceptional quality, intricate designs, and the sophisticated palettes that often feature subtle "abrash" (tonal variations), a hallmark of natural dyeing and traditional weaving. This exquisite runner showcases a compelling all-over geometric pattern that fills its field with rhythmic beauty. A series of small, interconnected medallions gracefully flow across a deep and inviting abrash navy blue background. The "abrash" effect, where natural vegetable dyes create subtle shifts in color tone, adds profound depth, authenticity, and a unique patina that only enhances its antique charm over time. The geometric motifs within the field are beautifully brought to life with a harmonious array of accent colors, including luminous ivory, warm brown, rich rust, and various shades of blue. Adding to its unique charm and narrative, the main field is delightfully interspersed with small geometric and animal forms, which imbue this wonderful runner with a playful spirit and a deeper connection to its village origins. The design is elegantly framed by a beautiful primary border in a rich rust-red, providing a warm contrast. This is further enhanced by narrow secondary borders on either side in creamy ivory, creating a refined layering effect that perfectly complements the rug's central palette and intricate details ideal for hallways, entryways, or grand corridors.

19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Runner
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite Lavar Kerman runner from the late 1800s is a true rarity—both in format and artistry. Lavar Kerman rugs, renowned for their refined floral designs and exceptional craftsmanship, are seldom found in runner form, making this piece exceptionally desirable. The allover floral pattern is rendered in a sophisticated palette of French blue, soft pink, ivory, and rich red, gracefully woven into a field of timeless elegance. Perhaps the most unique feature is the exquisite border: a flowing arrangement of vibrant red flower bouquets set against an unusually rare green background—creating a stunning visual contrast and a harmonious frame for the composition. Woven in southern Persia in the historic city of Kerman—a major cultural and artistic center along the ancient Silk Road—this runner is not only a work of textile mastery but also a piece of living history. Its delicacy, balance, and palette reflect the artistic spirit of a region long celebrated for its contribution to Persian rug weaving.
