Antique Heriz Karaja Serapi Rug 10'3"x12'5" Dramatic Vermilion and Slate
Rug No. 116442
Antique Persian Heriz Karaja Serapi rug with a glorious large scale design in a rarely seen colorway of blue-green slate, baby blue, charcoal blue, chocolate brown, pale celadon green, and cream, on a translucent vermilion ground. This beautiful example was hand knotted with glossy high mountain hand spun wool using all natural dyes. Complex gradation of the blues and greens was achieved by dyeing over natural grey and light brown wool. It’s as intriguing to appreciate up close, as it is to enjoy from a distance.
