Antique N.W. Persian Serab Rug, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1870s. This exceptional example of 19th-century weaving hails from the Northwest region, showcasing the robust geometric artistry characteristic of Iranian/Persian rugs from this period. The use of saturated natural dyes—particularly the deep indigo and madder—speaks to its authenticity and age. The central field features a powerful procession of interconnected, stylized diamond medallions set against alternating fields of red and ivory. While the design is highly centralized and vertical, the continuous repetition of motifs creates a dynamic, repeating structure often classified among allover rugs. This intricate patterning is framed by multiple narrow guard borders, each utilizing small, repeating geometric motifs that complement the main field.
