Saber rugs are celebrated for their generous dimensions, showcasing both captivating medallion designs and enchanting all-over patterns, as exemplified by this exquisite piece. Characterized by an impeccably tight weave and a high knot count, Saber’s rugs boast an unparalleled ability to emphasize intricate design details. In particular, the delicate interplay of vines and florals set against a neutral or beige backdrop has become a hallmark of the artist’s later works.

This particular masterpiece, a testament to the latter half of the 20th century, bears Saber Workshop’s unmistakable signature in a striking shade of red—a distinctive feature of these collectible treasures.
