About the Item

Antique Heriz wool carpets are renowned for their crisp, abstract geometric interpretation of classical Persian rug design. Heriz carpets woven in silk, however, are quite distinct and tend to preserve the fluid, sinuous arabesque detail of classical Persian prototypes, as this exquisite example does. Arabesque vine-scrolls and palmettes in ivory and shades of blue radiate outward from a central rosette against a rich red ground. These same elements repeat on a smaller scale in the main border, but set now against a navy ground in contrast to the field. Minor vinescroll borders in green-gold and blue reinforce the framing function of the main border with finely wrought detail. One must experience this carpet directly to appreciate the luxuriant texture and color of the sumptuous silk pile. Mint condition. Size: 5'5" x 6'6".

Antique Persian Serapi Carpet, Handmade Wool Oriental Rug Ivory, Rust
Located in Port Washington, NY
Extremely Rare size, which leads us to believe this carpet originally was a custom order for a Nobel Family. Antique Serapi carpets are one of the most sought after rugs particularly in America and England for many years. Antique Serapi rugs 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: 16'2" x 18'2". 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...

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century
Located in San Francisco, CA
Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
