How do I place a large serapi carpet?

Position the piece centrally within a principal room to allow the bold geometric medallion and surrounding border to function as the main visual anchor. Ensure sufficient floor margin remains visible around the perimeter so the scale of the carpet complements the proportions of the room.

What period do these rugs come from?

The available pieces originate from the late nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century, spanning the 1860s through to the 1930s. Production during this timeframe relies on traditional Northwest Persian hand-knotting techniques executed in wool and cotton.

How do I maintain an antique wool rug?

Vacuum the pile regularly using a suction-only attachment without a rotating beater bar to protect the hand-knotted wool structure. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even wear across the surface from foot traffic and exposure to natural daylight.
