Serab Rugs
Hailing from Northwest Persia near the Caucasus border, Serab rugs are easily identified by their heavy use of natural, undyed camel hair, resulting in warm “biscuit” and “toffee” colored fields. They are most commonly found in long, narrow runner formats, often featuring a repeating series of interconnected hexagonal medallions.
Their rugged construction and earthy, neutral palette make them exceptionally popular for hallways and entries where a sophisticated yet durable “tribal” look is desired.
Tribal Persian Serab rugs are revered Persian creations known for their distinctive, often elongated runner formats and the signature use of camel hair wool, which lends them a soft, earthy palette. These unique pieces typically feature bold geometric medallions and durable construction, making them highly prized collector’s items. Discover more about related Northwestern Persian styles by reading about Serapi rugs and their distinctive characteristics. Two things are worth knowing before you search: a Serab is not a Serapi — that is a grade of Heriz carpet, a different weave at nearly three times the price — and this type is overwhelmingly a long runner, with nothing at all in our stock between 6 and 8 feet wide. For the measured size and price bands, the Serab-versus-Serapi test, and what the camel-colour claim is actually worth, read our antique Serab rug buying and identification guide.
