Antique Sarab Runner

Wonderful dated 1900 Antique Sarab runner in great pile all over with good dyes, soft pale camel ground with terracotta, soft greens and pale blues. Woven with the exact date 1900 in the Gregorian calendar, which shows as 1318 in the Islamic calendar. A very attractive tribal runner woven in East Azerbaijan which is one of 30 provinces in north-west Persia. Sarabs are easily recognisable due to their love of using the camel beige tone in the main field which we can see on this antique runner.  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, the camel beige/biscuit tone colour used is un-dyed wool.
