Serapi carpets are celebrated for their bold, geometric medallion designs, spacious compositions, and balanced palettes that often feature terracotta, ivory, and soft blues.

Authentic pieces are traditionally hand-knotted with hand-spun wool on cotton foundations, utilizing natural vegetable dyes for rich, enduring coloration.

Authentication involves examining the knot density, irregularities in hand-spun wool, natural dye oxidisation, and characteristic wear patterns on the foundation.

A large antique carpet serves as a grounding anchor in a contemporary space, contrasting clean architectural lines with rich textures and historical depth.

Preservation requires gentle, regular vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
