Wish you the best Friday rug friends! If you are not in too much of a rush, this series of pictures reveals an unusual and very beautiful Heriz dating to c.1920. The design appears to have its origins in the harshang motif of shield shaped blossom palmettes. I love the implied symmetry, but freedom of scale in the elements. It is quite dirty in these photos, but a deep cleaning by our talented rug washers will reveal the most magnificent vegetable dyed colors. Size is 7’5”x10’7”. It is available. Inquiries are welcome!
The creators of this most folkloric of carpets were likely from the outermost villages near Heriz or perhaps still lived quasi-nomadic lifestyles. An “exploded” view of its medallion is like suspended animation that is artistically daring and quite unlike anything we have seen in other Serapi examples to date.
The eye-catching centerpiece is the stable nucleus of such action, anchoring the drama of the buoyant, subtly hue-shifting azure field.
SERAPI
NORTHWEST PERSIAN ANTIQUE CARPET
10' 6" x 12' 9" (320cm x 389cm) — Late 19th Century
(Connoisseur-Caliber)
The First Harshang Bakhshayesh
Published by Herrmann in Seltene Orientteppiche IV in 1982, this is one of the all time Bakhshayesh greats. It dates to the early 19th century and is a unique artwork for various reasons:
1. The saffron yellow tonality.
2. The Harshang design, one of the most vibrant and collectible styles of the 18th century.
3. The exciting range of vegetable dyes, including various shades of blue, pink and green.
4. The all wool foundation.
5. The uncommon size.
For additional info, the carpet was published in my book The Persian Carpet: The Forgotten Years 1711-1872 as one of the very few surviving rugs from the Heriz district to be produced circa 1800.

Rug No. 156310
Antique Serapi Bakshaish rug with an enigmatic tribal design in the inspiring pastel tones 19th century Bakshaish Serapi are cherished for. The unencumbered asymmetrical artwork makes the carpet dance playfully before the eyes. But, it may be the subtlety of the colors that truly distinguishes this piece. Photos will never do it justice. One of the best.

One of my all time favorite Heriz type rugs. This is a fairly rare design with absolutely the best colors and wool from the region. It dates from the period 1890-1910. For the rug nerds, it is single wefted blue and white cotton with a very fine weave and soft handle. Not for sale.
How many superlatives can you pack into a paragraph? I don't want to find out so will let this large antique Heriz sing its own praises.
Size 9'6"x13'7" Condition excellent!
Gobsmacking early Serapi enjoying the sun this is one of the oldest I’ve seen, with those irresistible calm peach n creme tones.

A finely woven antique Heriz Serapi that stands apart from the crowd. My theory is that the designer and weaver were madly in love. Size is 9'3"x13' SOLD
I can't take my eyes off this Heriz Serapi carpet. Its colors are not the usual fare and the artful design goes straight to the heart. Honestly, antique and vintage rugs can be repetitive. The challenge is to find the pieces that will connect with the kindred spirits among us. It is not an intellectual endeavor but a soulful emersion.
Always searching for something a little different. I couldn't resist the medallion on this antique Heriz, so here it is in its geometric glory. Size is 8'3"x11'. SOLD but I have more!
What makea a rug beautiful? Of course, it is entirely subjective, but good color is a universal qualifier. This remarkable Heriz just hit our shop and it's ready to sparkle up your home.

Detailed shots of the awesome Serapi gracing the back cover of halimagazine this month. It’s one of the prettiest I’ve had and we all know how rare ivory ones are. The large size is so hard to find in this quality. The natural dyes make it all work—be sure to spot the excellent sky blue splashed around the carpet. I love the quirk of two spandrels (field corners) being in peach red while the opposite two are in a delightful cafe au lait tone. Did you see the little camels?

Exquisitely fine, heartbreakingly attractive. This glorious Serapi Heriz survives intact and boasts some of the prettiest natural dyes you will see. There's an abundance of saffron and green in the field but the knockout punch is the killer blue border--literally to dye for!
A sublime antique Serapi of the early type with ravishing colors and uncommon size.
The attractive combo of ivory, pinkish red and celestial blue is captivating. The carpet is complete with lovingly distressed areas that beautifully capture the charm of age and patina of time. This warrior has seen many battles and triumphed! The indigo medallion has stubbornly refused to oxidise (typical for the king of natural dyes) and remains, along with many areas, in full pile.
