This vintage Heriz Serapi rug from Northwest Persia showcases a color palette and design sophistication closely aligned with the finest Serapi rugs from the region. At its heart lies a unique, large-scale medallion, dramatically framed by a soft cream-colored border that lends an open, luminous quality to the composition.
The corner spandrels feature an elegant blend of pale yellow, pink, and soft blue—an uncommon and highly desirable color combination that enhances the rug’s visual charm. Of particular note is the rug’s rare width, exceeding standard Heriz proportions, which increases its design versatility and desirability for larger spaces. The rich abrash throughout—seen in tonal variations of green, dark and light blue, red, yellow, and pink—adds depth, movement, and authenticity.
