Antique Persian Serapi Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Turn of the 20th Century – Drawing influences from rectilinear and curvilinear design repertoires, this dazzling antique Persian Serapi rug showcases a magnificent sunburst medallion adorned with well-defined floral decorations. Blazing colors, articulate arabesques and ornate surface patterns give this splendid room-sized carpet a powerful presence. The striking field of this magnificent antique Persian Heriz area rug is occupied by a dazzling octofoil medallion that incorporates fantastical arabesques and heavily stylized Shah Abbasi pendants with filamentous outlines and refined contours that leverage the dominant onyx and ochre color scheme and accompanying vermillion and azure accents. The masterful medallion-covered field is embraced by delicate floral guard bands and spectacular turtle-and-vine scroll borders that display exquisite colors, abrashed details and a complete refinement of prototypical designs found in antique rugs from the Persian Heriz rug weaving region in North West Persia, which is well-regarded for its striking, highly distinctive carpet designs
