About the Item
Antique Persian Heriz/Serapi, hailing from the Iranian province of Eastern Azerbaijan and the encompassing Heriz region, hold a rich tapestry of history and craftsmanship. The village of Serab, nestled to the south of the Heriz region in North West Persia, is the venerable birthplace of these exquisite rugs.
Serapi, a term often reserved for the most exceptional antique rugs from the Heriz vicinity, has carved out a distinct niche in the world of rug connoisseurs. Those created prior to the dawn of the 20th century, in particular, have become coveted treasures in the modern era.
Take, for example, a magnificent 8'5" x 11' early twenty-century antique Heriz/ Serapi tribal carpet, adorned with geometric patterns inspired by the Caucasus and bearing the influence of early Safavid design. Its condition is pristine, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that produced it. Crafted by the hands of artisans in small workshops and family settings, Serapi rugs are a remarkable fusion of formal Persian carpets and rustic tribal influences.
One hallmark of Heriz/Serapi rugs is the distinctive "abrash" effect, which lends a textural depth to the rug's stark field and contrasting decorations. The rich history and local production methods contribute to this unique feature.
What truly sets Persian Heriz/Serapi rugs apart is their striking color palette. These rugs feature clear colors, creamy undyed fleece, beautifully tempered reds, warm earth tones, and concentrated blues. The exceptional colors, high-quality wool, and impeccable construction result in a well-deserved reputation for quality and value.
Moreover, the Serapi is renowned for its strength and durability. A charming folk tale even attributes this resilience to the sheep that produce the wool, suggesting that they drink from streams enriched with copper. According to the tale, the copper-infused water influences the quality of the wool, making it stronger and more resilient than ordinary wool from other sheep.
In essence, Persian Heriz/Serapi rugs represent a marriage of tradition, artistry, and enduring beauty, making them not only a visual delight but also a testament to the rich cultural heritage of their place of origin.
This rug is in very good condition and didn't needed repair since it has been created, the colors are very unusual popular and rear, the light blue background color and the gold.
