A Splendid Antique Persian Kurdish Serapi Design Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa date: 1920 – Serapi rugs are considered some of the most beautiful in the world by collectors and designers alike. This one is an excellent example with vibrant colors and a traditional medallion design. One thing that sets Serapi rugs apart is their angular medallions in the center. This gives them a sense of balance and a more formal quality.

Their balance and symmetry give them a formal feel, but they also have a tribal quality that sets them apart and has made them some of the most desirable rugs in the world. Serapi rugs were once found in the formal homes and estates of industrialists around the turn of the 20th century. This rug is of Kurdish origin and uses a traditional Serapi design. It is the perfect size for placing in front of a sofa, for an entranceway, or a breakfast nook. Its colors are delightful, and it has a tribal charm that would be perfect for layering other pieces and mixed metals that reflect the light in the room.

Persian rugs are a classic that automatically brings an artistic feel to the space. They tie various elements of the space together and give the room a cohesive look, even if it is a collection of your favorites in different styles. This rug will create a foundation for a traditional room setting, but its more tribal character allows you to use it in a Boho Chic or Shabby Chic room, too. It is perfect at home in a historical home where it will add a sense of authenticity.

This rug was created in the 1920s and would be the perfect addition to an Arts and Crafts-style home. In a room with modern pieces and hard lines, this rug will give the space a cozy, warm feel. Serapi rugs continue to be favorites, and this one is versatile enough to complement any design you can imagine.
