Persian Serab rugs, originating from the Serab region in northwestern Iran, are renowned for their durability and distinctive design. Typically woven by Azerbaijani artisans, these rugs feature a warm color palette dominated by camel, beige, and rust tones, often created using undyed camel hair. Their geometric patterns, including elongated hexagons and diamond medallions, reflect traditional tribal aesthetics. Serab rugs are highly valued for their fine weave and long, narrow dimensions, making them ideal as runner rugs. Their timeless elegance and craftsmanship make them a sought-after choice among collectors and interior designers. See less
