Heriz Serapi 1413

A masterful example of early 20th century Persian craftsmanship, this rare antique Heriz Serapi rug features an uncommon near-square format with an exquisite allover design — a combination that makes it a true collector's find and a designer's dream. The richly saturated terracotta field is animated by bold botanical and foliate motifs in vivid natural dyes — emerald green, cobalt blue, golden yellow, and delicate touches of pink and red. Its timeless elegance, balanced geometry, and exceptional quality set it apart from standard medallion examples of the tradition.

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.
