19th Century Persian Heriz Serapi in Allover "Tree of Life" on a Blue Field

About the Item

Discover a truly rare masterpiece from Northwest Persia: an exceptional 19th Century Hand-Knotted Persian Heriz Serapi rug, dating from the mid-1800s. This extraordinary room-size carpet features a captivating and seldom-seen all over "Tree of Life" design, a profound symbol of growth, connection, and spiritual renewal, elegantly rendered across its field. What makes this Serapi rug particularly unique and highly coveted is its very rare allover pattern set on a blue field background. This uncommon foundation beautifully enhances the intricate "Tree of Life" motif, allowing its vibrant details to truly shine. The use of natural vegetable dyes is evident in the subtle yet striking abrash (color variations) throughout the rug, adding remarkable depth, movement, and an unmistakable authenticity that only time and organic pigments can achieve. This rug is far more than a floor covering; it is a profound piece of art, a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and timeless artistic vision of 19th-century Persian weavers. Destined to be displayed and cherished, this heirloom-quality textile will be enjoyed for generations, bringing unparalleled beauty, historical depth, and spiritual significance to any discerning interior.
