This Sarab antique rug measures 91 x 434 cm, with a long, slender format and a quiet ivory field framed by layered red borders. Stacked diamond medallions and small floral-geometric details travel down the centre in a steady rhythm, while the surrounding pattern keeps a crisp, graphic balance. Wool lends the surface a grounded, tactile feel, and the low distress preserves clarity without masking age. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries softened colour, gentle wear, and a measured, heritage-rich character that feels restrained yet full of presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
