Antique Persian Serab Runner

No. 20289
Persia, 1910
4 ft. 10 in. x 15 ft. 9 in.
(1.46 x 4.76 m)

An antique Persian Serab runner.  The wide plain camel-tone outer border makes one initially think ‘Serab” as attribution, but this west Persian kellegi format village carpet is structurally and design-wise a Hamadan product. The grey-blue field displays an allover repeat of fat cartouches in ivory and dark brown anchoring rosettes. The light blue-grey border is adorned with a rosette and slanted leaf pattern.  True Serabs do not employ this border, but Hamadans certainly do.
