Hand-knotted in wool on a wool foundation, this antique Persian Sarab runner, circa 1900, features a rhythmic series of linked geometric medallions across a warm camel-toned field. Rich brick red, ivory, deep blue, green, apricot, and touches of yellow give the tribal composition unusual depth, while a distinctive ivory border populated with stylized animals surrounds the field.

The rug bears a two splices across the width. One less noticeable, and the other, a substantial historic splice extending across the field and into the side border, with associated loss and irregularity along the edge, visible in the accompanying photographs and reflected in the price. Professionally cleaned by Kebabian Rugs, it retains considerable character, strong color, and the commanding proportions of a true antique gallery runner.

This is a clearance rug. No, there are not any issues with the rug. Yes, the price is too good to be true, but there you have it! All sales are final. (Cash/check only).
