An exceptional early 20th-century Persian Heriz Serapi runner, this piece showcases the distinctive geometric aesthetic and enduring craftsmanship associated with Heriz weaving traditions. Featuring an abrash navy blue field and a rich dark red border, the design is highlighted by a series of finely rendered medallions in a vibrant array of colors—including rare and sought-after tones of green and yellow. The open, uncluttered composition allows the brilliance of the naturally dyed colors to shine, with subtle abrash variations in pale blue, pink, green, and golden yellow lending visual depth and historical authenticity. Woven with fine wool and colored using organic vegetable dyes, this runner is not only a decorative treasure but also a collectible heirloom of lasting value—ideal for hallways, stair landings, or long gallery spaces in classic and eclectic interiors alike.
