SERAPI HERIZ
Northwest Persian Antique Carpet

(Connoisseur-Caliber) This highly innovative, folkloric Heriz carpet is a refreshing departure from the traditional Heriz medallion and spandrel format. Its allover pattern is entirely balanced and eye-catching, as its diverse stylized vinery and hanging blossom motifs elicit a sense of natural beauty and harmony. Its softly saturated persimmon ground stylized rosettes, irises, dahlias, and much more float and dangle between serrated fronds of diverse sizes. This room-size carpet’s sunny visage is deftly balanced by the incredible spectrum of hues that appear throughout the rug, revealing the many subtle shades these village master dyers could achieve. A deep sapphire blue ground main border encloses the field and hosts an interlocking cartouche meander based on a design created for the court of Shah Abbas in the 17th century. Distinctive antique Heriz carpets woven in the Persian Azerbaijan region are perennially popular choices among our clientele as they are perfectly at home in a full range of decors. Happily, this casually elegant piece remains in extremely good condition overall.
