Antique Serab Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of a serab weaving showcases the robust, nomadic artistry characteristic of Northwest Persia. The structure is defined by its long, narrow dimensions, perfectly suited for grand entryways or as one of the finest hallway runner rugs available (3.08ft x 16.02ft).
The field is dominated by a powerful, repeating diamond lattice, executed in a sophisticated allover geometric design. These interlocking medallions are densely filled with smaller, stylized tribal motifs and subtle internal patterning, demonstrating the weaver’s skill in balancing complexity with continuity. The composition avoids a central medallion, allowing the eye to travel seamlessly across the length of the piece.
The palette relies on rich, saturated vegetable dyes, featuring red accents set against a grounding brown earth tone foundation. This sophisticated color combination lends weight and permanence to the overall aesthetic, ensuring the rug remains versatile while retaining its historic character.
Woven at the turn of the 20th century, this piece represents the pinnacle of village weaving tradition before the widespread commercialization of the craft. Its excellent condition and striking graphic presence make it a highly desirable acquisition for collectors seeking authentic antique rugs with exceptional provenance and enduring style.
This rug is featured in brown earth tone , red tones.
