Tribal Persian Camel Hair Serab Runner

About the Item

Highly collectible full pile Persian Serab runner with a camel ground and geometric motif. The colors, quality, geometry, and characteristics make this a true one of a kind unique gem, circa 1890. Measures: 3'3" x 9' The best antique rugs and carpets utilizing un-dyed camelhair are quite rare, as they represent a limited production of just a handful of the rug weaving villages and tribal encampments of the mountainous district of Northwest Persia. Prized camelhair yarn, often spun from the wool of the weaver’s own camels, yields an exceptionally soft and glowing earth tone, and, like top quality sheep’s wool, it is very strong and resilient to wear. Color striations, known as abrash, yield a surprisingly wide range of earth tone hues from blonde, to wheat, to walnut, and even chocolate brown, greatly enhancing the aesthetic of this style of antique carpet.
