Antique Serapi Persian Ivory 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of Serapi rugs exhibits the characteristic grand scale and bold geometric medallion structure typical of the Heriz weaving district. The central motif is rendered in rich terracotta and deep indigo, providing a powerful contrast to the open field. The field color, a luminous, aged ivory color rugs, is highly sought after, offering a sophisticated neutrality that grounds the vibrant primary colors. Secondary shades of warm coral, pale blue, and subtle gold are dispersed throughout the intricate vine work and spandrels, demonstrating the use of fine natural dyes prevalent in the 19th century. Woven during the height of the Qajar dynasty, this piece represents a significant investment in textile history.
