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
This exquisite early 20th-century Persian Heriz rug features the coveted Serapi design and a striking room-size format, woven in the artistic tradition of Northwest Persia. The field is rendered in a warm brick-red tone, enriched by vibrant abrash detailing in soft green, light blue, pink, and yellow, creating a harmonious blend of natural hues that evolve beautifully with age.
At the center, a bold medallion incorporates light blue, pink, red, yellow, and green—colors that mirror and unify the surrounding motifs. Delicately hued pink, blue, and white corner spandrels frame the composition with elegance and balance, enhancing its visual appeal. The deep navy blue border provides a grounding contrast, framing the piece with classic structure.
