Antique Sarab Runner

A rare, small size tribal runner from Sarab runner woven around 1870, early dyes and designs.  Fantastic 'Boteh' motifs at both the top and bottom in the camel coloured border of this antique Sarab runner.  Lovely tribal motifs in the side camel coloured border too, nice natural off white wool used for the minor border and diamond motifs, really lifts the whole palette.  Excellently drawn and well spaced out motifs, a fabulous 150 year old piece.

Some minor restoration is apparent on this runner along the side-cords, with old wrapping.  A very attractive tribal runner woven in East Azerbaijan which is one of 30 provinces in north-west Persia.

Sarab is famous for good quality runners and rugs and their design is almost always geometric, with repeating medallions.  More often the medallions are hex-column, meaning the hexagons are attached to each other through the length of the runner like we see on this piece.
