FAQs

Sarab rug runners originate from the village of Sarab in Northwest Iran, near the Heriz district. They are historically known for their narrow runner format, camel hair or natural camel-tone wool fields, and distinct geometric diamond medallions framed by multiple detailed borders.

These runners are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheep wool or natural camel hair for the pile, tied onto a durable cotton or wool warp and weft foundation using natural plant-derived dyes.

Authentic Sarab runners display hand-bound overcast edges, natural colour variations known as abrash due to batch-dyed yarn, geometric latch-hook or diamond medallion motifs, and a foundation that shows subtle structural irregularities typical of village weaving.

Place the runner in long hallways, entryways, or narrow corridors to introduce texture and grounding tones against polished timber, stone, or neutral poured concrete floors.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, place a high-quality non-slip underlay beneath the rug to prevent wear, rotate the piece periodically to balance foot traffic, and arrange professional dry cleaning when necessary.
