This remarkable 19th-century antique Serapi carpet is a rare and highly collectible example of fine Heriz-region weaving from Northwest Iran. Known as the more refined and meticulously crafted cousins of traditional Heriz rugs, Serapi carpets are revered for their balance, clarity of design, and exceptional craftsmanship.
This piece showcases a striking central medallion surrounded by stylised floral and geometric motifs, all rendered in a beautifully harmonious palette of natural dyes. The vibrant yet mellow colours—typical of true antique Persian rugs—add depth and warmth, making this carpet a statement piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
