168 X 445cm Antique Serapi Gallery Carpet

19th century
For Sale by James Cohen Antique Carpets (Reserved for a buyer)
Description

A stunning carpet, in stunning condition. Because of the great pile height, the colours really glow and it feels marvellous underfoot. The field design of flower sprouting 'Boteh' on the navy field is tremendously energetic and keeps the eye moving, while that gorgeous greeny-gold border is as unusual as it is beautiful. I don't find them in this size very often, nor with this great age and great condition. Really fabulous!

5'6" x 14'7"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Serapi Gallery Carpet to the 1880s.

This antique Persian Serapi gallery carpet dates from 1880 and possesses a hand-knotted wool and cotton construction. The deep navy blue central field displays a repeating arrangement of intricate boteh motifs, enclosed within a wide sage green ornamental border accented with terracotta and pale tones. Additional geometric and floral elements decorate the extensive borders running along the perimeter of the piece. The pile height remains full and deep, giving the textile a substantial texture. Measuring 445 cm high and 168 cm wide, this large floor covering suits extensive hallways, living rooms, or reception spaces, fitting naturally into traditional English Country House interiors. The robust materials and dense knotting make it suitable for areas with regular foot traffic.

FAQs

Serapi is a designation given to fine-grade Persian Heriz carpets crafted in Northwest Persia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are recognized for their balanced geometric patterns, open compositions, and soft vegetable dye colour palettes.

Serapi carpets are constructed with hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a cotton warp and weft foundation. Dyes derived from natural plant and mineral sources produce characteristic shades of indigo blue, terracotta red, and celadon green.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural variations in dye shade, known as abrash, along with slight structural irregularities from hand-knotting. Inspecting the underside reveals clear knot definition and wear patterns consistent with age.

A gallery carpets elongated proportions suit wide corridors, entrance halls, or open-plan living areas. The rich background colours anchor clean-lined contemporary furniture or traditional timber panelling.

Vacuum regularly using suction only to avoid disturbing the hand-knotted fibres. Rotate the carpet periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and employ a quality rug underlay to prevent sliding and pile compression.
