Antique Sarab Red Geometric Floral Wool Persian Runner 12565

Originating from Persia between 1890-1900, this antique geometric-floral Persian runner is hand knotted in high-quality wool with distinct attention to a marriage of medallion and all-over field designs. The rich and varied portrait of rustic red complemented by aqua blue, forest green, orange, and bold black repeats four lotus palmette motifs (symbolizing rebirth) in the mesmeric, finely woven field, wrapped by uniquely colored spandrels and a series of intricate, mirrored borders; the most prominent of which portrays a series of dancing Both paisleys, representing flame and the universe in this elegant-meets-tribal portrait.
