Antique Serapi Carpet

Period: Late 19th century
Origin: Serapi, Northern Iran
Dimensions: 220 x 315 cm

Originating from the Serapi region in northwest Iran, this exceptional late 19th-century rug exemplifies the refined artistry and balanced composition that define the finest Serapi weavings. The piece features a striking central medallion rendered in deep indigo and coral tones, set against a rich brick-red field adorned with a network of stylized floral and vine motifs.

The elegant use of negative space and the asymmetrical drawing of palmettes, leaves, and rosettes give the rug a dynamic yet harmonious visual rhythm. Ivory corner spandrels frame the composition beautifully, enhancing its contrast and depth. The intricate border system, composed of interconnected rosettes and angular floral motifs, reflects the sophisticated design language typical of Serapi and Heriz workshops of the period.

Woven with fine, high-quality wool and a tight knot structure, this rug not only displays remarkable craftsmanship but also a timeless aesthetic appeal. Its bold geometry softened by organic motifs makes it both a collector’s piece and a statement artwork suitable for refined interiors.
