Object Description
A magnificent all over design antique Serapi carpet, with a fine weave and exceptional pile height over the majority of this rare antique carpet. The more open design of floral palmettes combined with the early ‘Harshang’ motif create a stunning pattern. Stunning faded pale blues, sage greens, rustic brick reds and muted pinks combined with ivory wool are famous dyes for these earlier tribal carpets from Heriz in Northern Persia. These finer early Serapi examples from the mid to late 19th century are increasingly rare to come across in such original condition.
