Saraban / 14513

This Saraban antique rug measures 4' 5" x 6' 6" and presents a richly patterned field of small boteh-like forms arranged in steady rows across a deep red ground. A layered border in cream and neutral tones frames the composition with floral and vine accents, while darker outlining lends definition and rhythm. The wool surface shows gentle wear and softened colour, giving the piece a lived-in clarity rather than sharp contrast. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the balanced density and quiet formality that make Saraban rugs so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
