Sarab / 12678

A narrow Sarab runner in wool, 3' 3" x 13' 3", composed of a quietly intricate field of repeating diamond medallions and small abstract florals in warm neutral, red and brown tones. Layered guard borders provide a steady, linear frame while the ground shows a soft abrash and low, tactile pile that reads as time-softened rather than distressed. The overall effect is quietly authoritative, a restrained antique rug with measured colouration and disciplined geometry that emphasizes material and hand. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
