This monumental antique Heriz Serapi brings serious presence, soul, and color to any space. Woven in the Northwest Persian mountains in the 1880s, it's a piece born from tribal hands and generations of artistry — a true labor of love.
With an earthy rust field (a beautiful departure from the heavier red-and-blue Persians), this powerhouse rug delivers bold tribal motifs, angular geometry, and an amazing abrash story that shifts and moves with the light. Heavy, durable, and stout, it's built from the famously tough, copper-rich mountain wool that has helped Heriz and Serapi rugs survive beautifully for over a century.
Collectors and designers covet Heriz Serapis because they walk the perfect line between tribal and timeless — with wide-open medallions, dynamic designs, and naturally dyed colors that age like fine wine. These rugs aren't just furnishings — they're lifetime companions, full of history and heart.
This rug has some scattered wear, as to be expected from a true 19th century piece, and one small section of the end border has been professionally restored to honor its full glory. Overall, it is in amazing condition for its age and ready to anchor a home with strength, beauty, and story.
Woven Circa 1880.
All natural, vegetable dyed wool.
