Antique Heriz Serapi – 8x12 ft Masterpiece of Northwest Persia

"A dignified centennial treasure from the 1940s, embodying the geometric soul of the Azerbaijan weaving tradition."

Located in the heart of Northwest Persia, halfway between the historic centers of Tabriz and Ardebil, the town of Heriz is synonymous with architectural strength. This antique specimen, dating back to the second quarter of the 20th century, showcases the rare Serapi style—a refined geometric aesthetic highly coveted by [Architectural Digest](https://www.architecturaldigest.com) collectors for its expansive medallions and "South Western" or "Rustic" charm.

Heriz weaving is deeply influenced by the nearby Caucasus, sharing the graphic rigor seen in regional villages like Ahar, Bakhshayesh, Geravan, Karaja, and Mehraban. This particular rug features a stunning "Baritone Blue" indigo border framing a rich field of caramel, coca mocha, and ebony. The durable, lustrous wool pile has aged into a magnificent patina, a hallmark of authentic 1940s craftsmanship that has been meticulously restored to its original glory.

Interior Styling & Placement

As a Large Room Size Rug (approx. 8.2 x 12 ft), this piece is the ideal anchor for a Grand Living Room or a Formal Dining Hall. Its bold geometric drawing makes it a versatile choice for diverse styles—from Mid-Century Modern lofts to Industrial or European Traditional estates. The dark indigo and warm brown tones provide a grounded atmosphere for a large Executive Office or a sophisticated Master Suite.
