product sample two

Silk carpets from Heriz are prized and hard to find. This item is exceptional both for its unusual size for a silk and for falling under the heading of so called Serapi rugs, given its technical and aesthetic features. The medallion has Vaq Vaq mythical motifs of animals and demons. The field and its large leafy palmettes seems to be the silken antecedent for wool Serapi rugs.
