About
Persian Serab Rugs.
The Persian Serab rug is a type of Persian rug that originated in the Serab
village located in the Heriz district of Northwestern Iran. These rugs are
known for their durability, bold geometric designs, and bright colors. The wool
used in making these rugs is of high quality and is usually handspun.
Serab rugs typically feature a medallion design in the center, surrounded
by intricate geometric motifs and borders. The colors used in these rugs
include red, blue, green, and ivory, and the designs often incorporate a
variety of shades of these colors to create a striking visual effect.
In terms of size, Serab rugs can range from small prayer rugs to large
room-sized carpets. They are often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of
Persian rugs for their unique design and high quality craftsmanship.
As mentioned earlier, Persian Serab rugs are made in the Serab village
located in the Heriz district of Northwestern Iran. This region is known for
its rich tradition of rug weaving, and the Serab village is particularly
renowned for producing high-quality, durable rugs with bold geometric designs
and bright colors.
The weavers in Serab use traditional techniques that have been passed down
through generations to create these beautiful rugs. The wool used in making
these rugs is typically sourced locally and is of high quality. The wool is
handspun and then dyed using natural dyes made from plants, minerals, and
insects.
Once the wool is dyed, the weavers use a traditional loom to create the
rug. The process can take several months to complete, depending on the size and
complexity of the design. The end result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind rug that
is prized by collectors and enthusiasts of Persian rugs around the world.
Persian Serab rugs are known for their high quality wool, which is an
essential component of their durability and beauty. The wool used in these rugs
is typically sourced locally from the sheep that graze in the mountains of
Northwestern Iran.
The wool used in Persian Serab rugs is known for its strength, durability,
and resilience. It is also soft to the touch, which makes these rugs
comfortable to walk or sit on. The wool is typically handspun, which gives it a
unique texture and adds to the character of the rug.
The wool used in Persian Serab rugs is often classified according to its
grade or quality. The highest grade of wool is known as kurk, which is the
softest and most lustrous. Kurk wool is typically used in the finest Persian
rugs, including Serab rugs. The next grade of wool is called kork wool, which
is also of high quality but has slightly less luster than kurk wool. Other
grades of wool used in Persian rugs include makhmal, which is a very soft and
fine wool, and pashmina, which is a type of cashmere wool that is also very
soft and luxurious.
