Rare room size Camel Field Persian Serab rug with characteristics stemming from 19th century Persian Bakshaish rugs. The harmonious colors, skillful geometry and weavers craftsmanship make this rug an absolute work of art. The best antique rugs and carpets utilizing undyed 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 tones, 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 weaving. The major regions of origin were Persian Kurdistan and Azerbaijan. The most notable pieces come from the towns of Bijar, Malayer, Serab and Bakshaish, and the surrounding villages. However, smaller remote villages and nomadic groups (especially Kurdish tribes people) also employed this rare material. Occasionally, only the nomenclature "Northwest Persian Village" is used to define a rug's provenance, as its origin can be pinpointed only to the large wilderness territory north of Bijar and south of Heriz. Camelhair weavings are typically found in area sizes ranging from 3ft x 5ft to 5ft x 7ft, and in runners, usually in sizes from 3ft x 9ft to 4ft x 16ft. Kelege (wide runner) sizes 4ft x 9ft to 6ft x 12ft. are occasionally seen. Infinitely fewer pieces are found in room sizes ranging between 7ft x 12ft to 10ft x 14ft; and extremely rarely found in the oversize format, where carpets up to 12ft x 18ft were very seldom woven. With the exceptional beauty of the finest antique Camelhair carpets and their very limited availability, the collectibility and investment potential of Camelhair rugs...
