Sarab Rugs
With its Medallion design in Camel, Blue and its generous 9x2 ft format, this Semi Antique Sarab rug represents the authentic weaving heritage of Azerbaijan, where rugs of this quality have been hand-knotted for generations. This
Sarab rug represents the authentic craft tradition of Azerbaijan, where weavers have maintained the essential practices of Persian rug-making - hand-knotting, natural materials, traditional designs - against the pressures of
industrial competition and cultural change. Every knot in this rug was tied by hand by a skilled artisan working within a tradition of incomparable cultural richness. It is a unique, irreproducible work of handcraft that will
serve its owners beautifully for generations.
Sarab rugs originate from Azerbaijan in Persia, where a tradition of hand-knotted rug weaving has flourished for generations. The weavers of Azerbaijan have developed a distinctive regional style that combines the broad
vocabulary of Persian decorative art with the particular cultural character of their home landscape, producing rugs of genuine individuality and enduring quality that reward both immediate appreciation and extended living with
them.
The design tradition of Sarab weaving centers on medallion compositions rendered with the confident drawing vocabulary of village weaving culture. Working within a shared design tradition while expressing individual creative
preferences, Sarab weavers produce rugs of notable visual character - compositions that are simultaneously rooted in Persian cultural convention and freshly alive with the personality of their individual makers.
Woven by hand using traditional knotting techniques on cotton foundations, this Sarab rug features a wool pile of natural luster and resilience. The wool is drawn from sheep raised in the mountain pastures of Persia, where
animals feeding on native grasses at elevation produce fiber of exceptional quality - fiber possessing warmth, natural sheen, and structural resilience that no manufactured fiber can replicate or approach.
