Serab Rugs
Serab is located on the edge of the Heriz weaving area and specializes in runners. Camel borders are standard on antique Serab rugs. The patterns are geometric, the wool pile is quite dense and more modern rugs tend toward lighter palettes. Few scatters and no room size antique Serab’s were woven. Most Serab runners are 3’4” wide and finding one under three feet across is truly exceptional. Camel border antique Hamadan’s share the same aesthetic with old Serab’s. Colors: brick/taupe/blues/brown
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
