Serapi Carpet
About the Item
Serapi carpets from Northwest Persia are renowned for their balance of bold and playful drawing. This exceptional piece uses the traditional layout of a medallion set within a field with corner spandrels but layers the entire composition with an all-over design, the so-called “mina khani” pattern, more often seen in neighboring Kurdish weavings. In the spirit of great Serapi carpets, the resulting composition is equally highly inventive and pleasing.

The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular today. The neutral ground color of the border is unusual and sets of the other colors in an interesting way. 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...
