Antique Persian Serapi Carpet, Handmade Wool Oriental Rug, Ivory Rust Light Blue
About the Item
Extremely Rare size, which leads us to believe this carpet originally was a custom order for a Nobel Family.
Antique Bakshaish carpets are one of the most sought after rugs particularly in America and England for many years. Antique Bakshaish Carpets 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: 13' x 18'
Bakshaish Carpets
1. Origin: Bakshaish carpets are produced in the Bakshaish region, which is also in northwest Iran, but not as close to Tabriz as Serapi carpets. The region's carpets have a distinctive style.
2. Design and Patterns: Bakshaish carpets often have more simplistic and abstract patterns compared to the elaborate designs of Serapi carpets. They might feature geometric designs or stylized motifs rather than the more intricate floral patterns seen in Serapi carpets.
3. Color Palette: The colors in Bakshaish carpets can be more muted and earthy, including shades like terracotta, brown, and muted blues. The color schemes tend to be more subdued and natural.
4. Knotting and Quality: Bakshaish carpets can vary in quality, but they are generally known for their durability and robust construction. The knotting might not be as fine as in Serapi carpets, but they are still well-made.
5.Size: These carpets come in various sizes, but they are often found in more practical sizes for everyday use compared to the typically larger Serapi carpets.
Serapi is a term that is a mystery in the Persian antique carpet market. There is no location or tribe of this name. Sarab, also spelled Saab, a town in northwestern Persia, is known for weaving only runners with a camel hair pile during the nineteenth century. "Serapi" may be a nickname given by American dealers for northwestern Persian Heriz carpets during the nineteenth century. Serape is the word for the popular Mexican-Indian tribal weavings for clothing dating from the seventeenth century; the similarities of the primitive designs and the medallion in serapes to Heriz designs may have inspired American dealers to apply the well-known term to Heriz carpets. American dealers sometimes used nicknames when strong color and design similarities existed for better marketing purposes.
The Serapi nickname was associated with Heriz carpets until the mid-twentieth century, when Persian dealers began to gain influence in the American market and used the original weaving locations to name Persian carpets. To this day, however, Serapi continues to be used all over the world to describe nineteenth-century Heriz carpets.
The nineteenth-century carpets were woven in a higher grade quality than those of the twentieth century. The designs are also sharper in detail and have noticeably more open space amid the design elements compared to later Heriz carpets. Serapi (Heriz) designs are fashionable today in the antique market and are very popular with consumers.
