This antique Saraband runner, woven in Persia circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a finely drawn all-over Herati-style field and crisp geometric border work. Its rust-red ground, deep navy accents, and ivory guard motifs create a striking traditional composition with the refined character and visual rhythm collectors prize in early 20th-century Persian runners. An ideal choice for a hallway, entryway, or narrow passage that benefits from a long, elegant antique accent.
Muted warm tones of rust, navy, ivory, camel, burgundy, and charcoal, with a rust 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.
