Design & Craftsmanship

Serapi rugs, originating from the Heriz region of Persia (modern-day Iran), are celebrated for their bold geometric patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. This rug features a large medallion with angular floral motifs, framed by an elaborate midnight blue border adorned with rosettes and palmettes. The corner spandrels showcase detailed botanical motifs, creating a balanced and symmetrical design that reflects the artistry of 19th-century Persian weavers.

Crafted from hand-spun wool and dyed with natural pigments, the rug’s colors have gracefully aged, resulting in a soft patina that enhances its antique appeal.
