Antique Room Size Heriz Serapi Rug

About the Item

The antique carpets from the Heriz area which are given the name ‘Serapi’ typically have a very finely knotted lustrous pile and are dyed in a range of natural hues, masterfully blended to create a pleasing and harmonious palette. This beautiful example is distinguished by an ivory background, embellished by a large ogival rust cartouche containing an hexagonal medallion. The generously spaced ivory spandrels are decorated by abstracted palmettes connected by a stylised vinery, in a geometric signature style typical of this group of rugs. The refined sobriety and elegance of this Serapi makes it a glorious example of one of the most acclaimed families of antique Azerbaijani carpets, and certainly one of the most coveted types among antique decorative rugs.
