A beautiful antique Heriz Serapi rug, containing all the elements that make this style, not only popular but can be used in so many different areas and styles of settings. The central panel, in shades of soft blues and pinks, creates a harmonious and happy feel, that is accentuated by the dark blue corner spandrels and soft ivory main border. The Heriz district of NW Persia has been weaving carpets for over a century, with geometric designs and tonalities ranging from mellow to saturated. Medallion layouts are by far the most common, but the semi-stylized versions of classic all-over Persian patterns are found. Blues range from navy to powder and reds go from tomato to buff. The foundations are cotton, and the knots are always symmetric (Turkish). This Heriz has a character all its own and will become a natural focal point in any setting.
