About the Item
This antique Persian Sarab runner, woven between 1870 and 1890, exemplifies the tribal workshop traditions of northwest Iran. Measuring approximately 3 ft x 18 ft (5.017 sq. m), it belongs to the gallery runner class—ideal for extended corridors and transitional spaces. Constructed with a wool pile on a cotton warp and weft, the piece showcases a medium 6 mm pile height and a balanced, sturdy handle suitable for antique utilitarian textiles. Its age, structure, and materials place it firmly in the late-19th-century Sarab weaving tradition known for geometric precision and architectural layouts.
The design features a longitudinal arrangement of repeating hexagonal medallions linked along a central axis. Stepped panels, latch-hook geometry, angular rosettes, and sawtooth ornamentation fill the field with rhythmic Tribal linearity. Warm rust brown, pale beige, and deep navy define the palette, with golden tan, steel blue-gray, and dark brick red accents adding layered contrast. The darker border frames the lighter field, creating strong visual depth and emphasizing the structural geometry inherent to Sarab runners.
Hand knotted with a symmetric (Turkish) knot at an estimated 100–150 KPSI, the rug offers a durable, medium-density wool surface supported by a woven cotton foundation without adhesives. Its moderate sheen, firm handle, and stable fiber condition align with its durability score and suitability for hallways, entryways, stair landings, galleries, and low-to-moderate-traffic passages where elongated runners perform best.
For designers, the narrow but heavily patterned format adds architectural rhythm to long corridors, pairing well with warm neutrals, navy-rust combinations, and interiors emphasizing linear geometry. Its chain-medallion structure suits both traditional and curated contemporary settings that incorporate tribal accents.
Condition is very good for an antique of this period. The pile is stable, moth activity is not present, there is no noted color run, and the structure remains sound with intact selvedges and end finishes. Professional cleaning with dye-stability precautions is recommended given the presence of natural dyes and visible abrash along the length.
