Serapi Carpet
About the Item
Serapi carpets from the Heriz district of Northwest Persia are known for their blending of bold graphics with a more traditional and elegant format. This Serapi draws a grand central medallion that takes up nearly the entire field. The sparse, terra cotta red ground elegantly contrasts with the softer colors of the medallion, corner pieces, and border. Rendered in large scale, iconic palmettes blossom from nearly every section of the field as the border draws linked Persian palmettes in a balanced but exquisitely asymmetric manner.

- Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet, c. 1900Located in San Francisco, CAAntique Large Persian Serapi Carpet Rug, c. 1900 Serapi rugs and carpets were woven in the Heriz district of 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 today.
