Antique Serab Persian Knotted Hallway Runner Tribal Rug

Antique Serab Persian Knotted Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1860s. This exceptional Serab runner represents a superb example of tribal weaving from the late Qajar period, offering a glimpse into the enduring tradition of antique rugs crafted in Northwest Persia. The Serab region is renowned for producing durable, finely knotted pieces often utilizing natural camel hair, making this piece a highly sought-after example of 19th-century nomadic artistry. The striking palette is defined by a rich, naturally dyed camel field, characteristic of the finest Serab production, placing it among desirable brown earth tone color rugs. This earthy ground provides a warm contrast to the dramatic central motif—a repeating series of interconnected, stepped medallions rendered primarily in deep indigo, ivory, and madder red.
