The tradition of Persian carpet weaving dates back more than 1,000 years. According to written records, the King of Persia commissioned an unprecedented carpet decorated with crystals, gemstones, and precious metals in the 6th Century. However, the tradition of Heriz and Serapi carpets is relatively recent. Heriz carpets were produced during 19th Century primarily as exports to Europe and Britain. Historically, it was common for carpet traders to market rugs produced in neighboring villages like Bakshaish as Herizes. However, not all villages were able to match the quality of the native Heriz weavers. Although the cities of Heris and Sarab are both located in the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan, which is also home to the city of Tabriz, Heriz and Serapi carpets are totally unlike those produced in Tabriz. Where designs from Tabriz used flowing curvilinear figures with ornate decorations, carpet weavers in Heriz used bold geometric and tribal motifs with angular lines that bear little resemblance to the flowers and objects they represent. Now regarding the Serapi that I am offering here, first of all, when it comes to oversize antique rugs prices usually go up to 25%, because oversize pieces were made in much smaller number compare to regular 9'x12' room sizes. This Serapi freshly came out from, an estate sale in Santa Barbara, CA. We were told that this rug has been in the family estate since 1916. This beauty measures 11'-7" x 14'-10" that fits in 12' x 15' category. It is in good condition for its age, shows minor wears, but shows no foundation threads, no holes, repair, stain and odor. Both ends are intact and believe it or nor some of original fringes are still there, which is kind of rare for a Serapi at this age. As you see, it has phenomenal decorative color combination, with awesome open field pattern with central medallion. Please, ignore those parallel line on the rug, they are reflection of electric cables. Pictures were taken on the side walk.
