Antique Blue Persian Heriz Serapi Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rugs, Circa Date: 1900 – Blue tones stand out against the gold elements in a royal display of color and flow. True to the style of many exquisite Serapi rugs, this elegant piece features a strong, grounding border that stands out as the perfect frame to the presence at the heart of the Persian rug. The primary use of gold along the border creates a smooth transition into the darker elements at the antique rug’s center, almost like a transition between the day and the night. Plenty of gold elements stand out at the rug’s core, but the deep blue presence creates mystical and necessary contrast.
One uses a central motif design that highlights the horizontal motifs more so than the vertical. This makes the antique Persian Heriz rug appear to be wider than it is long, but this is only an optical illusion that was created by the placement of the floral motifs.
