Traditional hand-woven 100% wool Antique Serapi oversized rug featuring a massive central stepped medallion in crimson red and light blue, set against a deep navy blue field, adorned with stylized geometric floral motifs and sweeping vines, framed by warm ivory corner spandrels and a classic red main border with repeating rosettes, SKU 52197, size 12′8″ × 18′6″. Reference image: 52197.jpg[cite: 21]
This Antique Serapi rug embraces the pinnacle of 19th-century northwestern Persian weaving, offering a spectacular display of monumental geometry, airy botanical spacing, and extraordinarily vibrant, patinated color. The expansive field showcases a masterfully organized layout characterized by a massive, commanding stepped central medallion in rich crimson red, gracefully floating within a vast, deep navy blue background[cite: 21]. The composition is elegantly framed by prominent corner spandrels in warm cream and ivory, creating a striking visual contrast that is a hallmark of the finest Serapi weaves[cite: 21]. A beautifully structured, wide red main border adorned with classic repeating rosette palmettes perfectly frames the dynamic, mansion-sized piece[cite: 21]. The exceptionally high-quality hand-spun wool pile creates a wonderfully patinated, steadfast canvas that effortlessly brings historical grandeur, sophisticated texture, and unparalleled architectural character to curated spaces.
Hand-woven in 100% premium wool, this true antique offers an incredibly durable, steadfast foundation with a soft, comforting presence underfoot. Measuring a monumental, oversized 12′8″ × 18′6″, it serves as a stunning, visually expansive anchor piece perfectly scaled for luxury great rooms, massive dining halls, or grand mountain lodges, bringing soulful artistry and exquisite heirloom craftsmanship to the heart of the home.

Styling & Placement Tips
Perfect for mountain modern lodges, historic estates, luxury traditional homes, or grand eclectic interiors. The massive 12'8"x18'6" scale makes it the ultimate captivating anchor piece to unite sprawling great room seating arrangements or comfortably sit beneath a grand 14-to-16 seat dining table.

Care
Vacuum regularly without a beater bar (suction only) to protect the antique wool fibers and preserve the historic pile. A high-quality rug pad is strongly recommended to prevent slipping, provide cushioning, and protect the rug's foundation. Rotate occasionally to ensure even wear. Professional cleaning by a specialist experienced in antique rugs is highly recommended.

About this Weave
Antique Serapi rugs, originating from the Heriz region of northwestern Iran during the 19th century, are universally revered by collectors and designers alike as the ultimate expression of sophisticated village weaving. Distinguishable from later Heriz rugs by their finer weave, more spacious and open geometric designs, and exceptionally luminous, naturally dyed palettes, Serapis represent a pinnacle of historic craftsmanship. Woven with prized mountain wool, these heirlooms are famously hard-wearing yet possess an incredibly soft, supple handle. Aesthetically, they are instantly recognizable by their monumental central medallions, striking ivory corner spandrels, and deeply patinated reds and blues. Inherently sophisticated and rich with provenance, these antique masterpieces offer a grounding foundation perfectly suited for adding historic grandeur, formidable strength, and timeless aristocratic style to the most distinguished interiors.
