Saraban / 32017

This Saraban antique rug measures 5' 6" x 15' 3" and presents a long, timeworn field in layered brown, cream, and white. The design reads as an allover geometric pattern, now softened by high distress and broad fading that gives the surface a hushed, painterly depth. A restrained border frames the composition without interrupting its quiet rhythm, while worn areas and tonal shifts add texture throughout. Circa 1925 - 1940, it carries the patina of a piece that has aged into nuance rather than precision. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
