The plants and flowers that were crushed, boiled and used to create the wonderful natural dyes of this amazing Persian rug is a priceless practice of an era from long ago that has left us with this outstanding treasure to keep, respect and cherish. A remarkable Serapi is what we have here, a most admired NW Persian rug that comes from the region south of the Caucasus Mountains, woven by tribal people with amazing folk art that leaves us mesmerized. Serapi rugs are highly sought after rugs by designers and connoisseurs as they display wonderful art that is not as densely packed like similar Heriz rugs.
This late 19th Century piece boasts with gorgeous aqua blue borders that frame the rug beautifully and help age the rug to the experts' eyes. The coloration and scale of this rug is a statement and if you've been looking around for a while, you can easily tell how this piece is well designed and distinct. Low pile and well worn, it shows off beautifully aged vegetable dyes and its somewhat coarsely woven wool allows for this rug to have a wonderful, floppier nature. Woven in a small workshop and most likely by a family, this rustic tribal beauty will be the inspiration for a room that will be designed around this very piece.
