About the Item

Discover the timeless allure of this exquisite antique Northwest Persian Serab/Serapi runner! Measuring at 4'1" x 13'8" and crafted around 1880, this runner showcases the fine artistry of Serab weaving with its captivating camel-colored natural dye wool. The geometric tribal design, featuring repeated medallions, adds a touch of traditional charm and elegance. Steeped in history and craftsmanship, this unique runner promises to be a stunning addition to any home. Its perfect condition speaks to the care and quality of its creation, ensuring not just beauty but also durability. The origins of Serab rugs trace back to the picturesque village of Serab in Azerbaijan, nestled in the northwest of Iran. Renowned for their long rugs or runners adorned with lozenge-shaped medallions on a distinctive camel ground, Serab rugs epitomize the artistry and tradition of Persian weaving. These remarkable rugs from Serab exhibit an angular style that shares resemblances with tribal Bakshaish rugs and those crafted by Kashgai weavers, adding a touch of cultural richness to any space. Traditionally woven in the county of Sarab and its eponymous city within East Azerbaijan, also known as Azarbaijan-e-Sharqi, these rugs are not just decorative pieces but also embodiments of a rich weaving heritage. Embrace the beauty and legacy of Serab weaving with this exceptional antique runner, inviting warmth, history, and artistry into your home.
