About the Item
SERAPI RUG: 8'8" X 10'8"
Circa 1850's
Red field with stylized meandering blossoms and an ivory, pink and blue geometric pendant medallion at the center. Ivory sub-field contains similar motifs. Faded red guard borders. Navy blue main border with stylized turtle motif. This carpet has a soul, created through time.
Purchased from an Estate on Cape Cod where it had been in that family's home for generations.
This item can be viewed at the Berkshire Galleries of Great Barrington Massachusetts.
Serapi carpets were woven in small workshops with multiple weavers working several years to complete each rug. Highly skilled artisans, they continually reinterpreted the design as they wove, creating highly spontaneous and inventive artistry.
Serapi is a term that is a mystery in the Persian antique carpet market. There is no location or tribe of this name. Sarab, also spelled Saab, a town in northwestern Persia, is known for weaving only runners with a camel hair pile during the nineteenth century. "Serapi" may be a nickname given by American dealers for northwestern Persian Heriz carpets during the nineteenth century.
The nineteenth-century carpets were woven in a higher grade quality than those of the twentieth century. The designs are also sharper in detail and have noticeably more open space amid the design elements compared to later Heriz carpets.
