This decorative vintage Sarab runner is a rare and elegant find, celebrated for its durability, fine tribal craftsmanship, and soft neutral color palette. Handwoven in the historic town of Sarab, located in northwest Iran between the towering Bozquosh Mountains and Mount Sabalan, this runner embodies both rug-making heritage and natural beauty.

Sarab’s weavers are known for producing rugs that withstand the test of time, with dense, tight knotting and high-quality wool, making them ideal for hallways, entryways, or narrow interiors. The subtle earthy tones, often in cream, beige, taupe, and soft browns, harmonize with a wide range of interior design styles, from Scandinavian and minimalist to classic and bohemian.

Beyond aesthetics, this piece carries a story of place: Sarab is one of the oldest settlements in Azerbaijan, rich in history and tradition. The town’s rug-making techniques have been influenced by local Shahsavan tribes, and its volcanic landscape, abundant mineral springs, and harsh winters all contribute to the resilient and beautiful materials used in its textiles.

Whether you’re looking for a functional floor runner or a cultural conversation piece, this vintage Sarab rug offers timeless appeal, heritage, and harmony in every thread.
