About the Item
19th Century NW Persian Serapi Carpet ( 15' x 22' - 457 x 670 cm )
Antique Serapi Oversized Large Big Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This magnificent example of 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Persian village production, highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs. Its impressive scale, typical of the era's grander commissions, immediately establishes a commanding presence in any sophisticated interior.
The defining characteristics of Serapi rugs are evident in the robust, lustrous wool quality and the highly stylized, powerful central medallion. Woven in the mountainous region of Northwest Persia, this piece utilizes an open field composition that allows the intricate details of the primary motif to breathe. The monumental scale of this oversized format makes it a rare and exceptional find for large residential or commercial spaces.
The striking colorway is dominated by a rich, deeply saturated terra cotta and rust ground, beautifully balanced by secondary accents of ivory, sage, and navy. The use of a vibrant, yet softened coral palette provides exceptional warmth and depth, a hallmark of the natural vegetable dyes perfected during this period. The overall composition relies on bold, architectural structure rather than delicate curvilinear forms.
Examination of the field reveals highly abstract, stylized elements—a sophisticated interpretation of traditional tribal motifs. The angularity and strength of the central design, framed by stepped spandrels, confirm its heritage within the tradition of geometric designs. The dark indigo border, featuring repeating stylized palmettes, provides a crisp, grounding contrast to the exuberant field, ensuring this weaving remains a timeless masterpiece.
