Sarab / 25471

This Sarab antique rug measures 196 x 391 cm, and its elongated format is organised around a dense allover field of small boteh-like motifs, now softened by age. Brown, cream and ivory tones are layered with heavy visible wear, creating a matte, timeworn surface that feels rich rather than uniform. The narrow floral border remains legible, enclosing the composition with a steady rhythm. Circa 1915 - 1930, this antique rug reflects the subdued elegance of an older village weaving, where fading, abrasion and tonal variation have become part of its character.
