Hand-knotted in wool, this 2x9 vintage Persian Sarab runner rug, originating from Turkey, circa 1950-1960, features design that seems to draw on the more primitivist tribal folk art in this provenance.
On the Design:
Drawing on primitivist tribal folk art, this archaic piece of art exhibiting an old-world charm, features a rich brown background, intricate medallions and geometric patterns in the field and the border. Connoisseurs may further admire the subtle sense of movement that its color variations lend the geometry—a subdued, but intriguing departure from traditional area rugs of its period. It’s a fine play of rustic motifs in a reserved, sophisticated manner, and its large size offers vast design applications today. The classic pairing of the brown background with rust and red tones in the medallion plays beautifully off the regal intricacy of the geometric pattern, ultimately creating an architectural design complementing the unique size of this piece befitting a variety of large spaces and traditional projects.
Condition:
This vintage Persian Sarab style runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its construction has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and chic in a low pile. less
