Distressed Antique Persian Serapi Rug

About the Item

78709 Antique Persian Serapi Rug, 08'08 x 11'07. Persian Serapi rugs are hand-knotted wool rugs originating from the Heriz village in East Azerbaijan Province, northwest Iran. They are prized for their unique blend of tribal and Safavid influences, characterized by bold geometric designs, spacious fields, and a rich palette of natural dyes. These rugs typically feature a multiple concentric medallion format with stylized motifs like palmettes, leaves, and flowers, framed by intricate borders. Known for their durability and artistic merit, Serapi rugs are revered for their timeless appeal and historical significance in Persian rug artistry. ​Relaxed refinement meets Ivy League Prep style in this hand knotted wool distressed antique Persian Serapi rug. As you explore the heritage of this exquisite piece, envision the storied hands that have shaped its rich history. The striking curvilinear design and earth-tone colors converge to create an atmosphere of laid-back luxury, reminiscent of American traditional charm or the distinguished ambiance of Old World nostalgia. Against a red backdrop, a cusped navy blue medallion takes center stage, anchored with delicate trefoil and palmette pendants, adding a touch of charisma to the ensemble.​ The lovingly time-worn red field becomes a captivating stage for a mesmerizing interplay of Herati leaves, rosettes, lilies, peonies, angular palmettes, stylized florals, and rectilinear vinery. Together, they weave an elaborate mosaic of botanical forms, creating a harmonious symphony of nature-inspired artistry. The intrinsic pink and blue corner spandrels, born from within the field, bring a sense of unity, enriched further with navy blue acanthus accents that add a touch of dynamic elegance. Framed by a classic Samovar turtle vine scroll border and double floral meander guard borders, this distressed Persian area rug exudes an air of understated elegance. Each motif, each detail, narrates a story of a time-honored artistry that has graced homes with its presence for generations. Step into a world where quiet sophistication meets the cultivated atmosphere of Ivy League Prep and perpetually posh, embodied in the vibrant threads of this antique Serapi rug. As you welcome it into your space, envision not just a rug but a piece of heritage that speaks to the confluence of timeless style and the artistry of bygone eras.
