Sarab / 11751

A Sarab with a pared neutral ground and a serrated red medallion, this antique rug balances geometric rigor with a softened, timeworn surface. The wool fibre retains tactile depth while low distress and even fading reveal subtle abrash and a calm palette of cream and red. A broad border of repeating rosettes and hooked motifs contains the field, preserving the composition's graphic clarity. The piece measures 152 x 224 cm and speaks to disciplined handwork and age-worn character in equal measure. Circa 1885 - 1905. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
