This Sarab antique rug measures 97 x 173 cm and balances a light, time-softened field with a confident geometric frame. Brown, navy, rust, cream, and black define the palette, from the central diamond medallion to the layered borders and small repeating tribal motifs. The wool pile shows low distress, with gentle fading and surface wear that soften the contrast without dulling the design. Circa 1890 - 1910, it reflects the poised, architectural character often associated with Sarab weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time. Subtle tonal variation keeps the drawing legible and grounded.
