Each is a bold stepped\/serrated diamond in deep navy, the staircase silhouette a hallmark of the Heriz tribal vocabulary. The central medallion is the most elaborate: an ivory\/cream center filled with small diamond rosettes and a geometric tree-of-life column in dark brown, surrounded by a navy ring of continuous geometric rosette and latch-hook scroll.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crimson field between the medallions is scattered with diamond rosettes, stylized leaf forms, small boteh, and arrow forms in navy, ivory, and brown — punctuated by \u003cstrong\u003elarge teal\/sage green geometric leaf forms\u003c\/strong\u003e that are the most distinctive and unexpected color accent in the composition. The teal against the crimson is bold, graphic, and immediately modern — the detail that makes this rug work as well in a contemporary interior as in a traditional one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wide ivory main border carries a continuous geometric star rosette and vine scroll in red, navy, and dark brown, framed by a red inner guard and a dark brown outer guard. At 93 × 204 cm (3’1” × 6’8”), this is a classic runner — ideal for a hallway, staircase, kitchen, or narrow room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e❖ Condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition (c. 1920s — approximately 100 years old). Crimson field vivid and saturated; medallion centers show some pile thinning consistent with age; dark brown\/black areas show natural oxidation (iron-based dye — a normal antique characteristic, not a defect). Ivory border warm and well-preserved. Ends flat-finished — fringe absent or worn. Selvedge: red wool overcast, intact. No catastrophic damage; lies flat and presents well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e❖ Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serab — northwestern Middle East (Heriz region)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1920s (antique — approximately 100 years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-spun wool pile on wool foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-knotted tribal\/village — symmetrical (Turkish\/Ghiordes) knot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 × 204 cm \/ 3'1\" × 6'8\" — runner format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Triple stepped geometric medallion on crimson field; scattered geometric field motifs; large teal leaf accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crimson red, deep navy, ivory\/cream, dark brown, teal\/sage green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat finish — fringe absent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelvedge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wool overcast — intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique — pile uneven; medallion centers some thinning; dark element oxidation; colors vivid; no major damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1C1284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"One Royal Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233008603482,"sku":"1C1284","price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9656\/8577\/files\/1C1284_1.jpg?v=1780566212","url":"https:\/\/www.oneroyalart.com\/fr\/products\/antique-serab-wool-runner-crimson-field-stepped-medallions-c-1920s-31-68-1c1284","provider":"One Royal Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
