Fine Serapi Carpet, North-west Persia, Circa 1870, 3.93m X 3.23m

19th century

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

Serapi carpets have a special place in Persian carpet history. They are often finely knotted and with bold open designs, very much against the fashion of the day in Persia, and have an archaic feel to them. This piece was probably made in the Karaja district of North-West Persia as the structure resembles similar pieces made in other styles, namely a fine weave a thin pile and a very flat texture. The colours of this piece are also quite special. It has a pale appearance and a very limited palette which feels very contemporary. Note the white spandrels with archaic ornaments. This carpet feels like an early carpet. Although showing signs of wear commensurate with its age, it has survived in good condition. Professionally cleaned and with some very minor restoration, this beautiful carpet is ready for immediate use.
