A Fine Serab Runner, Northwest

Oriental Carpet

118312 Oriental Carpet A Fine Serab Runner, Northwest Persia early 20th century 169'' x 41'' (14'1" x 3'5") The abrashed camel-green field with single column of nine linked and floral lozenge medallions surrounded by stylised floral sprays and occasional similar smaller lozenge panel, in abrashed beige, pale green border of rosette and angular leafy vine between shaded brick-red floral meander and plain stripes. The Persian runner was developed in the Islamic world to replace the animal skins that warmed the narrow walkway between the chamber of a man and that of a woman. Runners do not have a single, central medallion, but instead a series of geometric medallions set in a column down the runner's center. The string of medallions look like a series of knots, which represent wisdom and immortality. The distinctive weave on the Serab carpet is that which was traditionally used for the carpets placed on the backs of camels before the saddle is laid.
