(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery")
The visually stunning Serab Camelhair runner is of a 23-foot length, which is virtually unseen in antique runners. It features an especially wide, open surround that celebrates this fiber’s natural tonal variations and creates a distinctive “rug within-a-rug” aesthetic. These impressive color striations (known as abrash) add depth and visual interest without complex dyes or patterns. Additionally, this wide, neutral frame provides a serene backdrop that contrasts with the brilliant colors of the central field, with its complex lattice-work background supporting diamond medallions in a massive arrangement that appears to extend beyond the borders. The abundance of small blossoms in vivid scarlet red, filling the azure blue lattice, creates a mesmerizing dappled design. Three different borders, a meandering vine-and-flower motif, a repeating diamond blossom, and a simple tulip border, separate the dense floral array from the zen-like emptiness of the outer frame. The exceptional condition and heavy pile of this enchanting Serab runner indicate that it has been cherished for its 125 years of age. Its Connoisseur-Caliber artistry ensures it will make a significant foundational addition to an important hallway.
