Our Fine Antique Serapi Rug collection is considered the most rare and desirable decorative carpet found in the market today. These works of art are woven in a distinct style that is found in the Heriz region. The larger scale and spaciously placed designs are what differentiates these carpets from others as they are unique and impressive. For years, Antique Serapis have been the carpet of choice in early American state and federal buildings, including the White House. These carpets combine design foundations taken from many customs throughout history. The strong symmetrical geometric designs are most likely taken from the Caucasian tradition of weaving. These large carpets were woven either in a family workshop or home. Several weavers being employed for the job, it still takes several years to complete.
Circa 1880.

This lovely detailed and beautiful Silk Tabriz Rug comes from north west of Iran. This is one of the oldest known weaving locations that make a vast sum of diverse carpet types. The art of Tabriz carpets reached their height around the 12thand 16th centuries. The extremely fine knotting of this rug is a vanishing art form and is reserved for kings and rulers. Silk rugs are prized possessions and are passed from one generation to the next.

A very rare Antique Serapi dating from the 1870’s. The Heriz influences can be noticed in the tribal motifs in use on both the medallion and the field. The geometric patterns in the inset are fantastically woven, and the use of camelhair provides a wonderfully luxurious air to the rug. These works of art are woven in a distinct style that is found in the Heriz region. The larger scale and spaciously placed designs are what differentiates these carpets from others
