Heriz Serapi 1121

This exquisite Persian Heriz Serapi runner, dating from the late 1800s, showcases a timeless geometric design on a beautifully abrash navy blue field, complemented by a deep red border. The composition features a series of finely detailed medallions in a rich array of colors — including the rare and highly sought-after green and yellow tones that collectors prize most highly in the Heriz tradition. Woven from exceptionally fine wool and dyed with organic vegetable pigments, this runner radiates vivid abrash hues of pale blue, pink, green, and golden yellow.

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.
