Antique Sarab Rug Beige Brown Persian Tribal Runner 12567

Hand-knotted in wool originating from Persia circa 1890-1900, this antique Persian runner connotes a Sarab tribal rug design (also spelled Serab colloquially remarking the village of origin’s multiple spellings). This particular Sarab runner enjoys a transitional play of beige-brown, blue, and orange among the prevailing colorway pallet, with a unique one-directional symmetry in the field medallions complementing the length of this 4×11 runner with an alluring sense of movement against the more neutral, forgiving background. Connoisseurs will note the presence of s-hook symbols on the open outer border, departing from the solid-color preference we’ve seen in this family for a subtle nod to the weaver (as this symbol is interpreted in varied cultures). The play of the subtle colorway variations with the tribal attitude in this drawing lends a  very cultured aesthetic to designers seeking an inviting tribal aesthetic from a classic Persian rug; a welcome addition to our Antique & Vintage rug collection.
