This antique circa-1920 Saraband runner is a hand-knotted Persian rug with a finely articulated geometric field, three linked diamond medallions, and a richly detailed floral guard border. Its softly aged ivory, rust, terracotta, and muted blue-gray palette highlights the precision of its wool pile and elegant tribal-inflected drawing. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or kitchen.
Faded warm tones of ivory, rust, terracotta, taupe, blue gray, charcoal, sage, and brown, with a ivory field.
Saraband rugs are woven in the Saraband district of Arak province in west-central Iran, and are perhaps best known for the "mir" or boteh field pattern — rows of small paisley-like teardrop forms — that has become one of the most widely recognized motifs in Oriental rug design. The boteh may represent a bent cypress tree, a flame, or a stylized leaf; its exact origin is debated.
Classic Saraband rugs feature this all-over boteh field on a rich red ground with a distinctive border composition. They are woven on a cotton foundation with the asymmetric knot and a medium pile. Their warm, rhythmic pattern and versatile palette have made them enduringly popular in traditional and transitional interiors.
