About the Item

An incredible mid-19th century Persian Serapi rug woven by a highly skilled master weaver! The central medallion is diamond in form with a deep indigo field. In the centre of the field is a large-scale flower with scrolling vines and leaves radiating out, woven in crimson, salmon, green and natural wool colors. The indigo diamond rests on a large crimson field of trolling vines and flowers in complementary wool to the medallion. Something to note is the use of wide open spaces between the flowers and vines in the crimson field. This lends an air of sophistication and thoughtful design on the part of the weaver, not typically seen in rugs of this period. The border is contrasting, with a wide indigo stripe woven with flowers and vines, surrounded by multiple thinner floral and geometric stripes.

19th Century Serapi Rug
Located in New York, NY
An extraordinary, authentic late 19th century Persian Heriz Serapi rug. Measures: 11'3'' x 15' The Serapi rug can be traced back to the beginning of Persian handmade rug production in 5,500 B.C., but it was not until the mid-19th century that Persian rugs began to be exported around the world. Before these rugs became an export item, they were used only in the villages in which they were produced. Mellow colors and more minimal pattern distinguish the Serapi from other members of the Heriz family. Original Serapi rugs were created in the villages of Serapi, Sarab, Ahar, Heriz and Gorevan.
