Beautiful Antique Persian Heriz Serapi Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – This striking antique Persian Serapi rug, from the Persian Heriz rug weaving region, features a spectacular octofoil medallion set over a stark papyrus-colored field that is enclosed by decorative turtle-and-vine scroll borders. The minimalist field depicts a sumptuous ivory-colored ground decorated with filamentous vine scrolls and sparse botanical motifs. Deep inky blue accents and soft Persian blue figures create a lively medallion that leaps off of the neutral background. Angular spandrels filled with decorative botanical motifs frame the lavish medallion and lead the decorative segue into the ornate turtle-and-vine scroll borders. This stunning antique Persian Serapi rug showcases a striking combination of regional motifs set in a minimalist composition that has a surprisingly modern appearance.
