A magnificent rare antique Serapi carpet which is very finely woven in exquisite soft colours of yellows, blues and rust, in wonderful condition. The more open design with pale pinks and ivory dyes are typical of Serapi carpets from the mid to late 19th century. Stunning faded pale blues, rustic brick reds and muted pinks famous for these earlier tribal carpets from Heriz in Northern Persia.  The ivory medallion with large ivory flowers float beautifully on the brick reds.The condition is extremely good, with a finely cut medium wool pile height.  Some old areas of preservation are apparent in places, but no major repairs or damage.  This carpet dates from 1870-1880 and is in excellent order for its age of around 150 years old.  A rare and collectable Serapi, these early carpets still command high prices in the US and across the world in top auction houses.
