Antique Persian Serapi Area Rug, Crimson & Teal | Washable Heriz Heritage Design

Bring jewel-tone Persian drama home with our Antique Persian Serapi Area Rug in Crimson and Teal — a faded heirloom-inspired design featuring a stately diamond medallion in cream and teal, floating on a richly-saturated crimson red field. Serapi rugs are widely considered the finest of the Heriz family — woven in the village of Serab in northwestern Iran, where master weavers produced some of the most graceful, finely-knotted carpets ever made. Their bold scale, generous medallions, and saturated jewel-tone palette have made them favorites of collectors and designers for over a century.

Available in 11 Sizes — From Entryway Mats to Oversized Living Rooms

Sizes range from a 2'x3' accent for an entry to a 9'7"x14' statement piece for an open-plan living room. Popular sizes include 5'x7', 6'x9', 8'x10', and 9'x12'. Runners are available up to 12 feet for hallways.

• Dining rooms: Heritage Persian elegance under wood or upholstered tables.
• Home offices & libraries: The rug of choice for collected, scholarly studies.
• Hallways & entryways: Saturated tones forgive everyday foot traffic with grace.

About the Antique Serapi Pattern

Serapi is the name western dealers gave to the very finest Heriz rugs — woven in and around the village of Serab in northwestern Iran during the late 19th and early 20th century. While ordinary Heriz rugs are robust and bold, Serapi rugs are more refined: their wool is finer, their drawing is more graceful, their medallions are more architectural, and their colors — terracotta, crimson, indigo, teal, ivory — are softer and more harmonious. Surviving antique Serapi rugs are highly collectible today, regularly featured in interior design publications and high-end antique galleries. This washable reproduction captures the soul of those heirloom pieces in a modern, daily-life construction.
