Story Behind the Art: Serapi rugs are among the most admired and collectible Persian rugs, traditionally woven in northwestern Iran near the town of Heriz. Often considered the finest early examples of Heriz weaving, Serapi rugs are distinguished by refined craftsmanship, harmonious color palettes, and distinctive medallion compositions. Some experts define Serapis as Heriz carpets produced 100 to 200 years ago, while others identify them by their unique structural and design characteristics. A classic Serapi rug typically features a large hexagonal central medallion with stepped outlines, pendant extensions, and well-balanced corner spandrels. The field is often rendered in soft madder red or pale blue tones, contrasted by a bold medallion. Celebrated for their balance of elegance and strength, Serapi rugs remain highly sought after in the global Oriental rug market.
