145 years old SERAPI HERIZ RUG! Enthrallingly stylized, this robust Serapi Heriz persian carpet! is a wonderfully original re-invention of a celebrated style. collection purchased at in 28 Oct 2021 Finely woven on a silk foundation, overall excellent condition CIRCA 1875 Localised light wear, selvages rebound, minor loss at each end, good condition 7ft.9in. x 8ft.2in. 242cm. x 250cm Late 19th Century We have offered scores of Persian Heriz carpets over our four-plus decades of business, as our clients deeply love the spirited, vibrant color palette and graphic designs of the best pieces from this classic village style. This stellar over a century-old 7x8 example portrays uncommon and quite scintillating shades of deep azure in its corner spandrels in place of the classical ivory corner pieces. Also noteworthy in the ornate, balanced medallion is the use of ice blue transforming into luminous sky blue, and rarely used emerald green, juxtaposed with shades of rich madder red, burnished golds, and coral which greatly vitalize each other in turn. The masterful use of abrash color shifts adds an especially pleasing depth to the overall composition, as does its extremely durable wool and especially good condition.
