Sarab / 12034

A narrow Sarab runner in wool, this antique rug measures 97 x 401 cm and presents a long, disciplined composition. Repeating angular medallions march the length, their graphic forms set within an earthy neutral field enlivened by warm red and brown tones. Ivory guard stripes and compact multiple borders articulate the edges while low distress keeps motifs crisp and the fibre tactile. Subtle abrash and sun-softened colour create a calm, collected surface that reads as quietly antique. Circa 1900 - 1915, the piece conveys measured age and material presence, a testament to restrained design and timeworn craft.
