Artfully executed with highly ornamental floral motifs and strong northwest Persian colors, this stunning antique Persian Heriz-Serapi rug displays the area’s most iconic design hallmarks. The subdued brick red field is adorned with a radiant octofoil medallion. White latch hook outlines, midnight blue accents and soothing Persian blue details complete the vibrant palette of this exceptional Serapi rug. Fantastic floral grotesques with strong rectilinear lines and stylized accents meander through the spandrels and travel across the richly colored field. The vigorous composition is solidified in the ornate turtle and vine scroll borders, which feature overlapping corners and beautifully executed turtles that are surrounded by richly detailed vine scrolls and extraneous floral motifs. This stunning antique Heriz-Serapi rug is an enrapturing example of the region’s iconic style.
