Sarab / 13106

This Sarab antique rug measures 157 x 343 cm and balances a pale ground with a richly worked border in blue, red, and burgundy. The composition centres on an elongated medallion with stepped ends and dense floral ornament, creating a formal but fluid presence across the length. The wool has softened with age, and the low distress supports an even, graceful patina rather than heavy wear. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the disciplined patterning and grounded palette often associated with Sarab weaving, with a calm register of colour and texture.
