This antique Heriz Serapi carpet from Persia combines the bold scale and effect of the best Serapis with an usually graceful and refined sense of design. The unusually fine weave and the delicate, almost classical curve-linear drawing distinguish this from most other Heriz Serapi carpets. While it still has the bold scale and effect of the best Serapis, this lovely example combines such qualities with an usually graceful and refined sense of design. The color harmony as well harks back to classical forerunners, making this antique rug truly one of a kind.

Extremely Fine Room Size Antique Persian Heriz Serapi Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa date: 1900Antique Persian Heriz Serapi rugs use a classic design, but yet they have a unique feel that reflects their tribal roots. This beautiful Persian Heriz room sized rug is an excellent example produced around the turn of the 20th century. Its colors have remained bright and vibrant for over a century. This stands as testimony to the quality and care that went into producing it.

This unusually fine antique Persian rug uses a classic medallion design to define broad geometric areas using high contrast background colors. The rich tones of the rug include fiery reds, earthy browns, a range of blues, and ivory. All elements of the antique rug come together to place an emphasis on the central design of the medallion. The Persian Serapi rug uses horizontal and vertical symmetry, as well as the use of repeating background colors to create a sense of order and balance.

The scale of the main border of the Serapi rug is proportioned in such a way that it creates a frame but does not compete for center stage with the main medallion design. The darker colors surrounding the brilliant red background make the medallion the most prominent feature of the rug. It is carried out in such a way that it gives the rug a sense of grand scale, as one would expect to see in a rug that adorned the floors and walls of the grand Persian palaces.

The fine, Persian Senneh weave room size antique Persian Serapi rug, is executed in a way that brings out its elegance, but the angular nature of the motifs helps it to retain a primitive quality as well. This is a truly fascinating piece and will want to be the center of attention anywhere it is placed. The vibrant colors of the Persian Serapi rug make it an excellent choice to give any home or office an aire of distinction and taste.
