Heriz-Serapi Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This beautifully styled and superbly colored antique Persian rug showcases a spectacular stacked-medallion composition. Five flamboyant octofoils surrounded by radiant floral decorations create a stunning visual effect that is accentuated by the rich and beautifully varied color scheme. Narrow flower-filled guard bands and delicate borders adorned with reciprocating floral vine scrolls enclose the beautifully decorated field of this antique runner-style corridor carpet. The grandiose design features flamboyant botanical details with vibrant ruby reds, clear blues and exquisite accent colors that are extraordinarily decorative while incorporating the angular details and rectilinear features that make Persian rugs from Heriz and northwest Persia such iconic design pieces.
