Beautiful Antique Serab Persian Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1900 – Serab carpets are revered for their colorful displays and unique tribal character. This magnificent example creates depth and character that would be the perfect addition to both formal and informal room designs. The village of Serab is a small community nestled in the Sabalan Mountains of northwestern Persia. They remained isolated and were cut off from participation in the trade that others located in more populated areas could participate in, which means that they did not have the influences of contact with other cultures. This allowed their designs to retain the traditional qualities and characteristics that make them unique without being transformed by the influences of commerce. Serab designs were influenced by the materials that they had available. This antique carpet was created around the year 1900. The designs were influenced by the tribes that surrounded them, but they were not influenced by the carpet weaving centers of the cities. This beautiful piece uses traditional motifs that have a distinctive stylized geometric quality. This Persian rug has an allover pattern based on large, complex repeating motifs. Of particular note is that the Serab would often use camel hair or blend camel hair with wool to create a range of browns. Sometimes these would be further dyed, and sometimes, they would be left in their natural color. This, combined with the blue that is unique to the area, gives this carpet and earthy feel that is characteristic of Serab carpets. This is a beautiful village carpet that could be used in a number of designs.

A stunning antique Turkish Oushak rug. Turkish Oushak carpets combine the bold colors and designs of carpets produced in the formal weaving centers with the symbols and traditions of tribal cultures. At the beginning of the 20th century, when this carpet was produced, these carpets found their way into the elegant dining halls and formal sitting rooms of Victorian homes. They added a rustic charm to the extravagant room décor of an earlier era. This carpet is based on a traditional medallion design that began to emerge in the Safavid Dynasty. The carpets created during this early time were intended for the palaces and public buildings of the courts. Throughout the years, they remained associated with sophistication and elegance. The brilliant colors of this Turkish carpet give it an elegant appeal that would make it the perfect addition to a formal setting. The brilliant red gives it vibrancy and liveliness. Yet, the creams, light blues, salmons, and soft grays give it balance and help to soften the effect. The formal symmetry of the designs is offset by the use of ancient tribal symbols and motifs. It is this combination of formal and informal elements that make Oushak carpets some of the most desirable in the world. This antique carpet uses a balance of warm and cool colors of the spectrum to create a piece that is colorful, yet harmonious. It uses a formal design structure with bold, angular motifs combined with tribal symbols to create a piece that complements both formal and informal design settings. This is a lovely piece that would go well in any room design from traditional to modern or Boho chic.
