Large Size Tribal Serab Persian Antique Rug 43705

Beautiful and Rare Large Size Camel Hair Persian Serab Antique Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – Antique Serab rugs like this are famed for the geometric precision of their drawing and the open, unencumbered aspect of their design. Here the field consists of a monumental central hexagonal arrowhead medallion surrounded by four smaller ones. All the medallions are filled with small Boteh or paisley motifs in a rich, pungent palette that recurs in the main double vine scroll or ‘crab’ border. While the camel field appears open, it is embellished with a subtle, tone-on-tone diaper pattern for added design texture. Antique Serab rugs are usually long runner rugs. Wider room-sized Serabs of this kind are exceptionally rare antique rugs.
