Fine 19th Century Antique Serapi Carpet — Northwest Persia
This exceptional 19th century antique Serapi carpet from Persia represents one of the most admired and collectible traditions of the Heriz weaving region. Woven in the rugged mountains of Northwest Persia, Serapi carpets are celebrated for their refined craftsmanship, spacious compositions, and powerful architectural presence.
Although often associated with Heriz, “Serapi” is not a village or tribal name.
The tribal weavers in Malayer were often Turkish, and they employed the Turkish knot, Gourde, to weave these creations. The Gourde is a symmetrical knot, as opposed to the asymmetrical knot of many traditionally Persian creations. Additionally, antique Malayer rugs regularly enjoy a low cut pile. Weavers trimmed the pile in order to enhance the appearance of the design. In addition to a broad range of design and color, these rugs were designed technically to enhance the artistry of the woven design.
Heriz Rug
This rug has a unique size. Where most Heriz rugs are designed around a central medallion, this rug consist of four full medallions surrounded by eight half medallions that incorporate a sun burst design. The rug frame geometric design is similar to the one shown in the medallions.
The spectrum of colors is well balanced throughout the design of the whole carpet. The whole arrangement of the design and balanced colors make the rug be one of the most desirable Heriz rugs.
Heriz carpets are durable and hard-wearing and they can last for generations.
