Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
A striking example of late 19th-century Persian craftsmanship, this Heriz Serapi rug, woven in the fourth quarter of the 1800s, reflects the distinguished artistry of Azerbaijan village weavers from Northwest Persia. This piece features a refined open field design, enhanced by luminous spandrels and corner motifs in soft yellow, contrasted with brilliant tones of turquoise blue, deep red, verdant green, and subtle pink.
The Serapi style, revered for its balance of bold geometry and nuanced color, is exemplified here in both palette and composition. The rare use of turquoise and yellow in such harmony with saturated reds and greens makes this rug a standout vintage Persian rug.
