Vintage 1960's Northwest Persia Serab rug - 4'5" x 8'11"
Serab Rugs are known for their fine long rugs or runners with a characteristic camel ground and lozenge-shaped medallions (circa 1960). The village of Serab is located near Heriz in Persia. One of the distinguishing attributes of the antique Serab rugs, is that most were woven using camel hair. The camel hair fibers are quite sturdy and they tend to be pretty resistant to wear and use. This allows the Persian Serab rugs to remain supple as the earthy undyed camel hair color tones. American Southwestern interiors are a natural fit for these antique Serab rugs, but they are not limited to this culture and design element.
