This grand antique Persian Heriz Serapi rug, dating from 1860-1880, is a stunning example of 19th-century tribal artistry. Its sheer size and stately presence are matched by phenomenal geometric designs, highlighted by a large central medallion with anchor pendants flanking the top and bottom and decorative spandrels. The spacious motifs, showcased independently, are classic Serapi style, set against a midnight blue ground border band adorned with serrated leaves and floral decor, framing this magnificent piece.
Handwoven with vegetable-dyed wool, the rug features aged natural dyes and noticeable abrash throughout, showcasing the artistic color variance from different dye batches. This unique characteristic adds depth and richness, enhancing its already superior quality and intricate detail. Its rare size, intricate design, and mellowed colors from decades of aging make this rug a true masterpiece, fit to style your home with timeless beauty.
Its impressive size and intricate design will elevate the ambiance of any space, making it a true focal point and conversation piece.
We are offering this gorgeous piece of floor art at an exceptional value compared to traditional brick-and-mortar pricing. Originating from the northwest mountains of Persia, it was woven by tribal weavers over several years, embodying a labor of love and craftsmanship meant to be cherished. This heirloom-quality rug is not just a floor covering but a statement piece that will exquisitely ground any home.
To ensure its longevity, we have given it some tender loving care, including rebounding the side edges by hand for durability. For more details, please see the accompanying video. Thank you for shopping small.
