A Curated Collection of Authentic 19th- and Early 20th-Century Handcrafted Rugs, Tapestries, and Textiles from Around the World Selected for Their Artistry, History, and Enduring Design
This vintage Persian Heriz Serapi area rug, dating from the early 1900s, exemplifies the timeless appeal of classic tribal design paired with a refined color palette. Prized for its harmonious use of blue and rust tones, the rug features a clean, open geometric composition that enhances its decorative versatility. The central navy medallion is accented with hues of blue, red, yellow, and green, framed by corner spandrels in a luminous shade of sky blue. A deep navy border surrounds the field, adorned with intricate motifs in blue, green, and rust. Woven from exceptionally fine wool and dyed using organic vegetable-based pigments, the rug displays vibrant abrash variations throughout—pale blue, navy, rust, and green—offering a dynamic interplay of color and texture.
