Antique Persian Serapi Carpet with Arabesque Detail and Vine-Scroll Border

About the Item

Antique Persian Serapi Carpet with Arabesque Detail and Vine-Scroll Border Keivan Woven Arts / Rug / KBE-20, country of origin / type: Iran /Heriz, circa 1910. Measures: 9'7 x 11'4 Serapi rugs are known as the finest rugs produced in the Heriz region and its surrounding area. The central rich red/orange field of this piece features a cruciform medallion in navy blue, while pink floats freely among a lavish interior embellishment of sinuous vines. Undulating sky blue corner pieces fill out the field with elaborate arabesque detail and a complex 'turtle' vine-scroll border is set against a pale pink ground, providing an elegant yet dramatic frame. Minor vine-scroll borders echo the rust color of the field. Perhaps the most extraordinary quality of this antique Serapi is its square size, in stark contrast to the much larger scale customary for antique Persian Serapis of this kind.

  • Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet, c. 1900
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet Rug, c. 1900 Serapi rugs and carpets were woven in the Heriz district of Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular today. The neutral ground color of the border is unusual and sets of the other colors in an interesting way. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
