About the Item

Early 20th-century Heriz rugs represent a pinnacle of artistic achievement in Persian carpet weaving. Originating from the Serab village in the Heriz region of Northwest Persia, these rugs are renowned for their bold, geometric designs, rich colors, and exceptional craftsmanship. Heriz rugs are distinguished by their large-scale motifs, which often include stylized floral patterns, geometric medallions, and intricate borders. The designs are typically rendered in vibrant hues such as deep reds, blues, greens, and golds, creating a striking contrast against the rug's ivory or camel-colored field. These bold colors are achieved using natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and insects, which lend the rugs their characteristic richness and depth. Crafted using traditional hand-knotting techniques passed down through generations, late 19th and early 20th-century Heriz rugs are prized for their exceptional quality and durability. They are typically made from high-quality wool sourced from local sheep, which is renowned for its softness, strength, and luster. The dense, tight weave of the rugs results in a plush pile that is both luxurious underfoot and highly resistant to wear and tear. What sets Heriz rugs apart is their timeless appeal and versatility. While rooted in tradition, these rugs also possess a modern sensibility that allows them to complement a wide range of interior styles, from traditional to contemporary. Whether adorning the floors of grand estates, stylish urban lofts, or cozy country homes, Heriz rugs add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any space, serving as focal points that anchor the room and tie together the overall design scheme. As artifacts of Persian culture and craftsmanship, late 19th and early 20th-century Heriz rugs also hold historical and cultural significance. They offer a glimpse into a bygone era when skilled artisans painstakingly crafted these masterpieces by hand, using techniques that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. Owning a Heriz rug is not just about acquiring a beautiful piece of décor; it is also about connecting to a rich tapestry of history, heritage, and tradition. Today, late 19th and early 20th-century Heriz rugs continue to be prized by collectors, interior designers, and aficionados of fine craftsmanship worldwide. Whether displayed as works of art or used as functional floor coverings, these exquisite rugs are treasured for their beauty, quality, and enduring appeal, serving as timeless symbols of Persian artistry and culture.

Extremely Rare size, which leads us to believe this carpet originally was a custom order for a Nobel Family. Antique Serapi carpets are one of the most sought after rugs particularly in America and England for many years. Antique Serapi rugs are a major draw particularly in big city America. Serapi carpets were woven on the level of small workshop 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. Measures: 16'2" x 18'2". Serapi is a term that is a mystery in the Persian antique carpet market. There is no location or tribe of this name.

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century
Located in San Francisco, CA
Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in 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 to this day. 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...
