Serapi and Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in Northwest Persia, renowned for producing durable, large-scale room-size carpets with distinct geometric motifs during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

These carpets are traditionally handknotted using handspun wool pile on a cotton foundation, employing vegetable dyes such as madder root and indigo to achieve rich, enduring colours.

Authentic pieces feature distinctive asymmetric knots, natural abrash colour variations in the wool, sturdy cotton warps, and characteristic geometric medallion designs that differ from curvilinear city rugs.

The bold geometric patterns and muted vegetable-dyed palettes serve as a striking anchor in modern rooms, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture and neutral upholstery.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brush heads, professional specialist washing when necessary, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent sliding and fibre wear.
