Heriz-Serapi Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This richly detailed antique Heriz-Serapi rug showcases a regal large-format arabesque that is juxtaposed against a crisp white field. The exquisite rectilinear arabesque incorporates a sophisticated combination of grand Saz leaves, rectilinear vines, diminutive floral motifs and tiny symbols. Subdued burgundy reds, warm woody browns and nuanced green-blue accents appear throughout the regal color scheme. Contrasting hairline details accentuate the intricate twists and turns of each stylized botanical motif. Stately turtle and vine scroll borders and multiple sets of guard bands that display a classical reciprocating floral pattern enclose the formal composition. The elegant main borders are adorned with a maze of intertwining vine scrolls and archetypal turtle motifs with graceful outstretched limbs that represent the traditional Heriz style beautifully.
