Antique Persian Serapi-Heriz Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – Steeped in the culture of northwest Persia, this dramatic antique Serapi medallion rug displays a marvelous array of stylized botanical decorations and symbolic accents that have a wild, unbridled style.

This exquisite antique Persian Serapi rug has a timeless countenance exaggerated by the superb decorating colors and grand botanical designs.
