Large, Long and Narrow Size Antique Persian Heriz Serapi Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century (Around 1890’s) – This monumentally graphic antique Persian Serapi rug has the charm of a great village carpet writ large. Antique Serapi rugs, the very finest grade of Heriz, are eagerly sought after for the animated spontaneity of their drawing and beauty of their palette, and this one has the best of both. The grand medallion is set against a delicate apricot field enclosed by sky blue corner pieces, with a minimum of stylized vines floating in the intervening space. The vines recur in the main border, again set against an apricot ground, echoing field. Rarely does one antique carpet combine so well the robust excitement of village weaving with impressive formality of room-sized rugs.
