This large handmade Serapi design rug features a bold central medallion with intricate floral and geometric elements, surrounded by a spacious open field filled with graceful vines and large corner spandrels. The strong red field contrasts beautifully with the navy borders and ivory outlines, creating a classic, vibrant composition with detailed patterns that evoke the grandeur of antique Persian Heriz/Serapi rugs.
Serapi rugs, named after the town of Sarab in northwest Iran, are known for their large-scale designs and powerful color palettes, often with oversized medallions and open fields. Modern interpretations like this Indian-made version faithfully recreate those characteristics using traditional hand-knotting techniques, offering the same bold presence and timeless appeal at a more accessible price point.
The dense hand-knotted wool pile provides excellent durability and a comfortable thickness, making this rug well-suited for living rooms, family rooms, or dining areas with higher foot traffic. Its large size and warm red tones add energy and focal interest to big spaces, pairing nicely with wooden furniture, leather pieces, or eclectic decor styles. Regular gentle vacuuming and prompt stain treatment will keep the vivid colors and fine details looking fresh for many years.
