Tribal Geometric Design Antique Persian Heriz-Serapi Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This impressive example of antique Persian weaving from the Heriz region depicts a stunning inset octofoil medallion embellished with dramatic serrated pendants and angular vine scrolls. Archetypical turtle-and-vine-scroll borders with pendulous Herati leaves, elongated fins and angular vine scrolls enclose the lavishly decorated field and complete the archetypal Serapi-style composition. The regal inset medallion leverages the sophisticated contrast and visual interplay created by the classic color palette, which includes soft ivory hues, rich Prussian blues and oxidized terra cotta reds. The dramatic spandrels mimic the stylized contours and angular botanical motifs that appear throughout the grandiose inset medallions. This stunning antique Heriz-Serapi rug makes an impressive statement with its accentuated botanical elements and classical color scheme.
