Large Size Tribal Geometric Antique Rustic Persian Heriz Serapi Medallion Rug 46286

Antique Persian Heriz Serapi Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – Crafted in Heriz, this striking antique Persian Serapi rug features a grand inset medallion composition that is rendered in a bold selection of traditional earth-tone colors. The grand stepped-lozenge medallion depicts rustic serrated leaflets, formal coffers and dramatic pendants with recurving ram’s horns. Subtle geometric animals, berekets, auspicious S-hooks and quincunx motifs dot the obscure onyx-colored medallion, which is set over a beautiful abrashed terra cotta-red field. The stately brick-colored background is framed with polylinear details that mimic the lines of the central medallion and mark the edges of the decorative spandrels. The grand main borders feature a rustic pattern of reciprocating floral motifs that are accented with serrated leaflets and articulated vine scrolls. Subtle guard bands adorned with angular floral motifs complete the stately composition of this rustic, symbol-filled Serapi carpet.
