Antique Persian Dorosch/ Serapi Design Carpet
About the Item
Indulge in the timeless allure of this exquisite 13' x 16' antique Persian Dorokhsh carpet, a masterpiece that transcends time and aesthetic boundaries. Dating back to the 1880s, this marvel of craftsmanship stands as a testament to the rich artistic legacy of the Khorasan region in northeast Persia.
The carpet's resplendent condition and superior quality are immediately evident, a reflection of the skilled hands that meticulously wove its intricate patterns. What sets this Dorokhsh carpet apart is its captivating color palette— a harmonious blend of unusual camel orange, complemented by subtle hints of light and dark blue. These colors come together in perfect harmony, creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.
As your eyes trace the primitive geometric design, you are transported to a Persian backyard and garden, where large medallions and floral corners weave a narrative of cultural significance. This design, characteristic of the Khorasan region, is not only visually striking but also exceptionally unique. Indeed, the rarity of this rug is underscored by the owner's sentiment that a similar piece has never crossed their path.
Dorokhsh carpets, hailing from the historic Khorasan region, have been celebrated for their artistry since the Timurid era in the late Middle Ages. The technique employed in creating these masterpieces involves the use of a Persian or asymmetric knot known as "Farsibaff." The knot, which may open either right or left, adds to the rug's distinctive character.
Examining the foundation of this antique beauty, one finds mostly wool—a testament to the traditional craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. However, in the 20th century, cotton warps and wefts became more prevalent in Dorokhsh carpets. The knot counts are a testament to the precision and dedication of the weaver, ranging from a fine 120 to an impressive 275 knots per square inch.
This isn't merely a carpet; it's a piece of history and a work of art that transcends its utilitarian purpose. It beckons to be showcased in a grand setting, with its expansive dimensions making it an ideal fit for a large room, perhaps adorning the floors of a majestic dining room. Enveloping your beautiful home in the rich heritage and allure of this Dorokhsh carpet is an invitation to immerse yourself in the splendor of Persian craftsmanship and culture.
