Nomadic Geometry — Antique Sarab Runner from persian (3.3 × 13.1 ft)

This antique Sarab runner from northwest persian (3.3 × 13.1 ft) is a stunning example of tribal refinement and symmetrical geometry. Its camelhair-colored field is adorned with a central procession of hexagonal medallions, each filled with intricate floral bouquets in vibrant reds, blues, and greens. These medallions are flanked by angular, tree-like arrow motifs — traditional tribal symbols associated with strength, fertility, and protection.

The background is softly detailed with an allover lattice pattern of interlocking diamond knots, adding visual texture without overwhelming the primary design. The deep indigo border frames the composition with a colorful procession of stylized rosettes, blossoms, and abstract tribal forms in a palette of rust, ivory, goldenrod, and turquoise.

Sarab rugs are renowned for their use of camelhair tones and linear layouts, making this piece ideal for hallways or gallery-style spaces in need of a grounded yet artistic centerpiece. Its wear-softened surface and natural abrash speak to its age and authenticity.
