Antique Serab 45320

This exceptional 19th-century Antique Sarab rug, measuring 3' x 5'3", is a rare and highly collectible example of early Persian tribal weaving. Woven with prized camel hair, the rug displays a warm, luminous ground that provides striking contrast to the bold geometric medallions rendered in deep indigo, madder red, rust, and accents of ivory and ochre. The vertically stacked diamond medallions are framed by intricate latch-hook motifs and angular tribal symbols, reflecting the strong graphic language characteristic of Sarab village rugs from this period.

The border is richly articulated with repeating geometric forms and stylized florals, adding structure and rhythm while maintaining the rug’s powerful tribal presence. The wool and camel hair pile has aged beautifully, developing a soft patina that enhances both color depth and texture. Compact in size yet visually commanding, this antique Sarab is ideal for collectors or designers seeking an authentic statement piece—perfect for studies, libraries, entryways, or layered into a curated, collected interior.
