Antique Persian Mir Seraband Rug – Late 19th Century – Handwoven Oriental Carpet

Antique Persian Mir Seraband Rug A genuine late 19th-century Mir Seraband rug from West Persia, handwoven with a wool pile on cotton foundations. The field is decorated with the classic all-over boteh motif, framed by shaped spandrels and enclosed within traditional repeating borders — a timeless Seraband design that has softened beautifully with age. This is a well-loved antique rug with heavy, even wear throughout, resulting in a mellow, timeworn surface and a subtle, tapestry-like appearance. The original palette has faded gently, giving the piece a subdued, characterful look that works particularly well in relaxed interiors where patina and authenticity are valued over crisp definition. Despite its age and wear, the rug remains structurally sound, lies flat, and retains a regular, usable shape. It is offered primarily for its decorative appeal and historic character, making it an excellent choice for shabby chic, country house, bohemian, or layered interiors.
