SERAPI HERIZ, Northwest Persian
10' 0" x 12' 4" Circa 1910 Price: $23,000
(High-Decorative)
This extremely unique antique Persian Heriz carpet boasts a wondrously inventive, folkloric flair and magically time-softened colors most often found in rugs a generation older. A flamboyantly animated spacious medallion rests on shifting Aegean blue tones of the onion shaped field that add dimensional depth to this spirited carpet. Including the vertically asymmetric spandrels, the interior of this piece offers tremendous enjoyment, its whimsical botanical drawing and casual spacing ripe for discovery. It certainly seems the team of weavers creating this piece were in great humor, full of expression without compromising the overall harmony at all. This room size piece enjoys heavy pile condition for the most trafficked of spaces.
