Antique Sarab Runner

19th century
Description

A rare, antique tribal runner from Sarab runner woven around 1880, with early dyes and designs.  Fantastic geometric motifs running down the centre of this camel coloured background, an amazing antique Sarab runner.  Excellently well drawn and well spaced out motifs, a fabulous 130 year old piece.

Some minor restoration is apparent on this runner along the side-cords, with old wrapping, it is in general in very good order.  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.

Purchase this antique Sarab runner online from us and we shall securely courier it to your home, with our excellent anti-slip rug underlay which is included in the price.  Or contact us to view it at our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey.

Request a home visit to view this wonderful rare antique runner in your own home, please let us know a preferred day and time to see you.  As we have travelled all over the UK visiting customers as far as Norfolk, Scotland and Ireland over the last 30 years.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sarab rugs originate from Northwest Persia, near the Heriz district, and are widely recognized for their camel hair fields, neutral tones, and repeating geometric diamond medallion patterns.

These textiles are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool or natural camel hair pile woven onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation.

Authentic pieces exhibit distinctive central diamond medallions, a characteristic camel-coloured or warm beige field, stepped geometric borders, and natural plant-based dyes.

A long geometric runner provides visual depth and historic warmth when positioned in narrow hallways, entryways, galley kitchens, or along stair landings.

Suction-vacuum gently without a rotary beater brush, use a high-quality rug underlay to prevent movement, and consult a specialist rug restorer for periodic cleaning.
