Story Behind the Art: Serapi rugs hail from the Heriz region of northwestern Iran and are among the most admired Persian carpets. Characterized by large-scale medallions, stepped hexagonal borders, and bold color contrasts, Serapis stand apart for their refinement and artistry. Their madder-red or soft-blue fields serve as striking backdrops for crisp geometric ornamentation. Some define Serapis as antique Heriz rugs between 100–200 years old, while others recognize the style by its distinct medallion-with-pendants layout. Whether identified by age or design, Serapi rugs are considered extraordinary for their quality, clarity of pattern, and rich palette. They remain enduring symbols of Persian weaving excellence and are treasured by collectors worldwide.
