Vintage Persian Saraband Mir runner was hand knotted in Iran of 100% natural wool on a cotton foundation. This rug is 60+ years old and has medium wool piles and is in excellent condition for its age. This runner features a highly sought-after allover boteh (paisley) pattern rendered in a dense, rhythmic field across a rich navy ground. This elegant and timeless design is one of the most recognizable and collectible motifs in Persian weaving, prized for its refined visual texture and exceptional decorative versatility. The field is filled with tightly arranged boteh motifs, creating a sophisticated, almost textile-like surface that reads beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors. The composition is framed by an ivory main border with stylized geometric and animal-inspired elements, providing strong contrast and balance. Saraband runners of this type are particularly desirable for their narrow hallway format, understated elegance, and easy integration into contemporary spaces. The navy ground is especially favored by decorators, offering a more versatile alternative to red-field runners. Likely woven in western Iran (Saraband / Malayer region), this piece reflects the intersection of village craftsmanship and classical Persian design traditions. No holes or repairs, plush and soft with a gorgeous design. This rug was acquired from an established rug merchant. Clean and ready to be enjoyed.
