Dimensions: 4'6" x 10'2" (137 cm x 310 cm).
Circa: 1930.
This antique Saraband rug, circa 1930, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian runner with a refined geometric village design and a softly aged palette. Its elongated field features stacked latch-hook and stylized botanical motifs framed by multiple borders, creating a balanced composition with strong tribal character and decorative versatility. Hand-knotted with collector-friendly presence and a beautifully worn surface, it is especially well-suited for a hallway, entryway, or narrow living space.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, brown, camel, and charcoal, 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.
