Antique Persian Serab Rug with Tribal Medallions and Warm Camelhair Tones, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900
This antique Persian Serab runner embodies the quiet strength and refined simplicity of tribal weaving traditions from northwest Persia. Handwoven in 1900, it features a series of elongated diamond medallions that flow rhythmically down the length of the field, each framed by serrated edges and filled with abstract symbols rooted in regional heritage.
The earthy camelhair background, characteristic of Serab rugs, creates warmth and texture that beautifully contrasts with the deep indigo, crimson, and ivory accents. This natural fiber not only adds durability but also enhances the rug’s subtle sheen and tactile charm. The narrow borders, filled with stylized geometric motifs, echo the tribal language of the field and provide structure to the composition. Buyers who appreciate this look may also want to explore runner rugs and tribal rugs.
