About the Item
78922 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Serapi Rug, 08'11 x 12'04. This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Serapi rug from the late 19th century is a masterful testament to the weaving traditions of northwestern Iran. Renowned for their durability and bold geometric designs, Serapi rugs from this era are highly sought after for their distinctive artistry and rich heritage. This piece exudes historical charm, characterized by a captivating combination of vibrant hues and an intricately detailed composition that reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of its time.
At the heart of the design is a commanding octofoil medallion, its intricate form anchored by palmette pendants that radiate a sense of dynamic elegance. The central medallion is framed by delicate serrated motifs and outlined with striking contrasts of midnight navy blue and beige, creating a visual anchor that draws the eye inward. Surrounding the medallion is a rich red field adorned with a symphony of motifs, including angular leaves, stylized flowers, and rosettes, each meticulously arranged to form a harmonious tableau that celebrates nature and geometry in perfect balance.
The corner spandrels, rendered in a serene sky blue, provide a refreshing counterpoint to the bold red field. These spandrels are decorated with intricate botanical formations, including curling vines and angular floral elements, which mirror the central medallion’s design while maintaining their unique visual identity. The juxtaposition of these cool tones against the warm red field further enhances the Persian rug's depth and dimension, imbuing it with a dynamic yet cohesive aesthetic.
Framing this intricate design is a classic turtle vine scroll border, a hallmark of Serapi rugs, which elegantly encases the central composition. The border is flanked by an inner and outer floral meander guard band, adding layers of complexity and refinement to the overall design. Together, these elements form a sophisticated and enduring piece of artistry, inviting admiration and storytelling while preserving the legacy of Persian rug-making traditions. This antique Serapi rug is not just a decorative piece; it is a historical treasure that embodies timeless beauty and cultural significance.

Located in New York, NY
An extraordinary, authentic late 19th century Persian Heriz Serapi rug. Full Pile Condition throuhgout
Measures: 7'8'' x 11'1''
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.
