About the Item
Exceptionally Rare Artistry: Antique Handmade Persian Seraband Wool Rug with Human Figures
Discover a truly extraordinary piece of textile art with this handmade antique Persian Seraband rug, meticulously woven from pure natural wool in Persia around the 1900s. Seraband rugs are widely known for their distinctive intricate patterns and durable weave, but this particular piece stands out as exceptionally rare and highly collectible due to a unique design element: the presence of stylized human figures subtly woven into its composition, specifically noted in its corners. Such depictions are exceedingly uncommon in traditional Persian rug weaving, making this a truly unique find.
A Glimpse into the Past: Unique Human Motifs
While Seraband rugs typically feature all-over repeating boteh (paisley) motifs or subtle medallions, this rug offers a fascinating departure with its rare pictorial elements. The stylized human figures, observed in its corners, are rendered with a charming, folk-art simplicity, adding a deeply personal and historical narrative to the rug's overall design. This rare inclusion speaks to a specific commission or the individual artistry of its weaver, setting it apart from more conventional antique rugs.
The rug is hand-knotted from high-quality natural wool, renowned for its durability and soft texture, which has developed a beautiful patina over its century-long life. It maintains a good condition for its age, showcasing a lovely low pile and charming age wear that attests to its authenticity and journey through time.
Enduring Collectibility & Historical Depth
This antique Seraband rug is more than a decorative item; it is a significant piece of textile history. Its rarity, particularly due to the presence of human figures, elevates its status from a beautiful antique to a valuable collectible. The intricate craftsmanship and the unique design reflect the rich cultural heritage and skilled artistry of Persian weavers from the turn of the 20th century.
Measuring approximately 7 feet 4 inches by 4 feet 3 inches (227 cm x 130 cm), this unique Persian Seraband rug is perfectly sized to serve as a captivating focal point in a living room, study, or any space where its rare historical and artistic significance can be truly appreciated. Its blend of traditional craftsmanship and rare narrative elements makes it an ideal complement for eclectic, bohemian, traditional, or globally inspired interiors, promising to be a conversation starter and a cherished heirloom.
