Antique Sauj Bulagh Runner

19th century
Description

Vibrant and full pile antique Sauj Bulagh runner woven in the Kurdish region in the far North-West of Persia, dating from the late 19th century.  They are known for combining elements of classical early Persian drawings with a bold and vividly colourful village aesthetic. The natural dyes are really tremendous, with corrosion to the brown dyes, a lovely sign of age.  Plus soft pinks, oranges and greens too, the ivory white dye lifts the whole composition as well.

The pile height is very high and thick too, as the wool used on runners and carpets from Sauj Bulagh is extremely soft and luxurious.  Request a home visit to choose an ideal day and time to view this runner at home.  A free, no obligation service we have offered for over 30 years.

Archival Detail
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.
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.
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.

Sauj Bulagh rugs originate from the Kurdish region of northwest Persia, woven by settled and semi-nomadic tribal artisans. They are recognized by their saturated palettes, heavy wool foundations, and bold geometric medallion or lattice motifs.

These carpets were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and foundation structure. Natural plant and mineral dyes produced the characteristic deep reds, indigo blues, and earthy terracotta shades.

Authentic examples feature asymmetric symmetrical hand-knotted weave patterns, subtle colour variations known as abrash, and thick, high-quality wool pile. The back of the rug displays distinct structural irregularity characteristic of tribal loom weaving.

Place the runner in long entryways, hallways, or narrow gallery spaces to add architectural focus and texture. The saturated tones complement minimalist stone, polished concrete, or dark wood flooring.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar to protect the pile fibers. Use a dense underlay mat to prevent slippage and reduce localized wear, and rotate the rug annually.
