Antique Persian Heriz-Serapi Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – Crafted in Heriz, this tremendous antique Serapi rug features a stunning Mina Khani pattern with grand medallions and rustic vine scrolls that are set on a fiery red field. The beautifully abrashed orange-red background creates a fantastic backdrop that emphasizes the varied colors and artful contours of the angular Mina Khani pattern. Formal main borders enclosed by detailed guardbands depict a traditional Persian pattern in a rustic symbol-filled manner. The crisp white main borders mimic the colorful guardbands by featuring a composite pattern of decorative S-hooks that are set in colorful cartouches. These symbolic elements are juxtaposed with angular ram’s horns that create geometric counterchange patterns. This exceptional antique Persian Serapi rug successfully combines tribal patterns with a sophisticated Mina Khani pattern that is associated with Persia’s great city carpets.
