About the Item
Antique Persian Serab Runner Rug 8470, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – Serab is known for its gorgeous runner rug, such as this fine example. The village is located in Northwestern Iran and is known for long, geometric tribal rugs. Serab rugs are in a class by themselves and have a unique beauty that sets them apart in the world of carpet collecting.
Like many tribal rugs, these carpets have unique qualities that are dictated by the isolation of the tribe and a lack of exposure to the commercial rug trade. They had limited materials available because they did not have access to imported materials. This makes them a unique reflection of the artistry of this remote tribe that has been allowed to develop without influence from the larger commercial rug weaving centers and schools.
Serab rugs are typically larger and usually appear as a runner format, but there are exceptions. The designs usually have long, diamond shapes with a high level of decoration surrounding them, as seen in this piece. Interwoven patterns are often found in the fields of these rugs. It is not unusual to find exotic materials in these rugs. You can often find camel hair and sometimes exotic materials such as bear wool. They used what they had available, and nothing went to waste.
This carpet has the typical camelhair border that characterizes Serab rugs. The use of natural fibers and locally available dye materials creates a palette that blends together beautifully and has an earthy feel. It still has the characteristic reds and blues found in other Persian rug, but the inclusion of camel hair and other exotic natural fibers tones the palette down and gives them a more natural and organic feel.
Serab carpets are unique and some of the most captivating in the world. This carpet has a fine weave and high knot count that is necessary to produce a design of this intricacy. The colors of this carpet are rich and warm. This is a captivating piece of artistry from a tribal culture that developed its own unique style.
The skill of the weavers who created this magnificent piece is apparent in every detail. This carpet could easily fit into a more formal room setting, but it also has a global character that would make it the perfect foundation for a Boho chic room, too. It is the perfect match for today’s trendy, nature-inspired color palettes and will create an excellent foundation for your room.
