Heriz Serapi 1079

This magnificent oversized Persian Heriz Serapi rug, woven in the Azerbaijan region of Northwest Persia, exemplifies the enduring artistry and timeless appeal of the Serapi tradition. Featuring a vibrant antique red field, the composition is centered around a large-scale medallion radiating in soft hues of baby blue, pink, yellow, and ivory. The rug is rendered with a bold geometric structure and richly saturated vegetable dyes, resulting in exquisite abrash variations that evolve beautifully with age. The bold navy border frames the piece with intricate colorful motifs.

Heriz rugs, woven in the village of Heriz and surrounding towns of the Azerbaijan region in Northwest Persia, are among the most recognized and beloved antique Persian carpets in the world. Distinguished by their bold geometric medallions, their warm brick-red and ivory palettes, and the exceptional durability of their double-wefted construction, Heriz rugs have furnished the grand rooms of Europe and America since the late 19th century. The finest early examples — particularly those designated Serapi, woven in the 19th century villages north of Heriz — are among the most actively collected antique rugs in the world today.
