About the Item

19th Century N.W. Persian Serapi Carpet ( 10' x 13'3" - 305 x 404 ) Antique Serapi Persian Coral 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Serapi represents the pinnacle of late 19th-century weaving from Northwest Persia. Serapi rugs are highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs for their superb wool quality and sophisticated adaptation of tribal designs into a more formal, large-scale aesthetic. The commanding palette is defined by a deep, saturated coral field, beautifully contrasted by the luminous ivory of the central medallion and spandrels. Secondary tones of slate blue, deep indigo, and ochre provide necessary grounding and definition to the complex structure. The natural dyes have aged gracefully, achieving a patina that only time can bestow. Unlike the more curvilinear designs of urban Persian weaving, this Serapi features the bold, angular structure characteristic of the Heriz region. The oversized, stepped diamond medallion dominates the composition, surrounded by highly stylized floral and animal forms, classifying it firmly among the finest examples of geometric rugs. Preserved in remarkable condition for its age, this piece retains excellent pile height and structural integrity. Its substantial dimensions place it within the desirable room-size format, making it an anchor piece suitable for a grand living space or formal dining room where its historic presence can be fully appreciated.
