Antique Persian Heriz Serapi Rug, Persia, c. Final Quarter of the Nineteenth Century – Here is an absolutely stunning antique Oriental rug – an antique Heriz Serapi composition, woven in Persia during the latter years of the nineteenth century. This astonishing tribal rug is primarily characterized by its sumptuous ivory field, against which a beautiful allover pattern of geometric floral elements unfolds. Positively replete with traditional Heriz Serapi elements of design, this antique rug is an exemplary composition, representing some of the most interesting trends explored by tribal Persian carpet weavers. A similarly traditional border, rendered in the same tones of ivory, pale blue, and soft red, frames the composition effortlessly. The overall impression left by this remarkable antique Persian rug is one of tribal authenticity, of treasured – if not sacred – ideas and aesthetics. A beautiful and representative Heriz Serapi rug, this beautiful composition is an exemplary work.
