Sarab / 11190

This Sarab is a quietly assertive antique rug in wool, its 5' 0" x 10' 4" proportions elongated to showcase a stepped central medallion set into a densely worked neutral ground. The field’s repeated geometric lattice reads as an architectural backdrop to a richly patterned medallion of red floral clusters and restrained white highlights. Layered borders provide a rhythmic frame while low distress and soft abrash retain a tactile, hand-aged surface. Circa 1900 - 1915. The composition balances heritage weaving language with a calm, design-forward palette and an assured sense of material presence.
