Heriz Serapi 1730

An extraordinary and rare early 20th century Persian Heriz Serapi rug featuring a vibrant allover geometric design that sets it apart from more traditional central medallion styles. This room-size rug showcases a rich palette of natural dyes in vivid hues of red, pink, yellow, green, and blue, balanced by a striking navy blue border. The large-scale leaf motifs and highly detailed patterning make it an exceptional piece of Northwest Persian weaving.

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.
