Sarab / 16399

This Sarab antique rug measures 3' 9" x 16' 9", with a long, slender format that emphasizes its vertical rhythm. A warm neutral field is set with a procession of red medallions, each filled with geometric floral detail and tempered by small scattered motifs across the ground. Cream and white borders frame the composition, while touches of blue lend definition and depth. The overall effect is balanced and quietly graphic, with low distress that softens the surface without diminishing the pattern. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the restrained clarity and regional character associated with Sarab weaving.
