Condition/Description: Offered here is a vintage, Persian Saraband Mir runner was hand knotted in Iran of 100 percent natural wool on a cotton foundation. This rug has medium, wool piles and is in excellent condition for its age. This runner is particularly attractive because of its unusually light ivory/cream field. Hundreds of small boteh forms are arranged in tight diagonal rows across the entire surface, rendered principally in indigo and blue-green with warm rust, salmon, brown and muted rose accents. Rather than appearing busy, the repetition creates an almost textile-like geometry when viewed from across a room. A narrow deep indigo main border, populated with repeating geometric and floral devices, provides a strong architectural frame around the pale field. Rust-toned guard borders introduce warmth and help connect the field colors to the darker perimeter. The result is considerably lighter and more versatile than the deep red palette associated with many traditional Persian rugs. Clean and ready to be enjoyed.

Saraband rugs are a form of Persian Oriental Rugs. Saraband is a village of western Iran. This art belongs to the southeast of Arak, which is the central west area of Iran, and the south of Malayer. These rugs are usually double weft and knotted in a symmetrical way. Therefore, these carpets are handwoven like other Persian luxurious rugs. But famous for unobtrusive and sturdy charm. Saraband and the Mir-Saraband rug is an art from the 19^th and early 20^th Centuries. This handmade rug is usually used as a floor covering and the design consists of small leaves forms in diagonal rows. The tips of the leaves are pointed in opposite dimensions. Sometimes the patterns on the field on the rug, have the same direction. The borders of Mir-Saraband rugs are mostly decorated with Herati pattern or zigzag shapes.
