Keivan Woven Arts/ rug/C26-0303-990, country of origin / type: Iran / Serapi, circa 1900.

Antique Serapi runner featuring a powerful geometric composition arranged along a long, narrow field. A sequence of distinctive medallions and angular tribal forms travels vertically through the center, with each element varying in shape and scale to create a lively, collected appearance. Smaller geometric devices fill the spaces between the principal motifs, giving the runner a richly layered design while maintaining the strong symmetry associated with classic Serapi weaving.

The color palette is particularly appealing, led by a warm brick red and terracotta field accented with deep navy blue, medium blue, soft blue, ivory, camel, muted green, brown, and touches of orange-red. Dark blue outlines give definition to the larger medallions, while ivory highlights provide contrast and brighten the composition.

Several narrow borders surround the field, creating a substantial architectural frame for the central pattern. The outer deep blue border carries repeating angular motifs in terracotta and lighter tones, while the inner borders alternate ivory, camel, red, and blue geometric elements. Natural variations in the colors and surface contribute to the individual character expected from an antique hand-knotted runner.

Its elongated proportions, saturated colors, and bold tribal geometry make this antique Serapi runner an excellent choice for a hallway, gallery, entryway, or long passage, where the complete progression of medallions can be fully displayed.
