Heriz Serapi 1795

This vintage Persian Heriz Serapi room-size rug, handwoven in the mid-20th century, is a striking example of village craftsmanship known for its bold geometry and artistic balance. Originating from the Heriz weaving region of Northwest Persia, this rug reflects the enduring legacy of Serapi-inspired design, prized for its spacious compositions and refined color palettes.

The rug features an open field layout anchored by a prominent central medallion, rendered in harmonious tones of light blue, soft pink, red, yellow, and green. The composition is framed by elegant corner spandrels in a distinctive French blue, providing visual contrast and structural clarity.

A defining characteristic of this piece is its abrash, visible throughout the field and medallion, particularly in the blue, pink, green, and yellow hues. These natural variations in color result from the use of vegetable dyes and reflect both the authenticity and age of the rug, adding depth and character that cannot be replicated in modern reproductions.
