Description

The regular red green procession of medallions up the midnight blue field is quite unusual for normally there is but one or two green medallions in these lovely old Heriz area runners. Here they've woven every second one using one of the most beautiful colours in a rug- mottled green. Many tiny yellow flecked abrashes subtly run through the green, improving the tonality and appearance of the colour. Showing heavy wear fairly evenly, this is nevertheless a very strong rug with plenty of life left in it. Using an underlay will greatly prolong its life, which I can supply for a modest fee.

3'5" x 17'0"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Serapi Runner to the 1900s.

FAQs

Serapi rugs are a sub-category of Heriz carpets originating from the Northwest region of Persia, characterised by bold, geometric medallion designs and a more spacious layout compared to finer city carpets.

Authentic pieces are typically hand-knotted with durable wool piles on cotton foundations, utilising traditional vegetable dyes for rich colours that mellow gracefully over time.

Authentication involves examining the hand-knotted foundation, irregularities in the geometric motifs, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, and the characteristic coarse yet sturdy weave.

Placing a large antique runner in a transitional or contemporary space grounds the room with historical texture, contrasting clean architectural lines with intricate geometric patterns.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand washing when necessary, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent sliding and wear.
