Woven Stories
Heriz Serapi

The story of the Heriz serapi design is truly a remarkable one to tell.
The term "Heriz" refers to the northwestern city of Heriz, near the city of Tabriz, which is a major rug-weaving center in Iran.
The term "serapi" however is considered to be a hot topic, since Heriz has no city by the name serapi residing near it,
moreover there exist no artist/weaver by the surname of "Serapi" that would link the design to their name.
Therefor through time, some dealers used to blindly relate "heriz serapi" to a nearby city although none exists.
Other experts and dealers linked the name to the nearby city of Serab, but we do not believe that this is accurate since the city of Serab produces completely different designs.
So where did the term "serapi" come from?
While looking deep into American history, our extensive research concludes that the term was coined by US traders in the mid 19th century who referred to
the Navajo Serape cloaks that held a lot of similarities to Heriz carpets in terms of design.
In conclusion, the term "serapi" has nothing to do with the city of Serab or any city in Iran for that matter, it was actually just referring to
native American Indians who shared a similar sense of art to Heriz.

Moving on to this magnificent rug, this masterpiece features a beautiful mix of colors and is in excellent condition although being over 150 years old.
One of the most unique aspects of this carpet is the border, which was woven with camel wool - a rare material to see on Heriz carpets.
This is because Heriz is located in the mountainous regions of Iran, where camel wool is considered an uncommon material to obtain.
This particular carpet was weaved when an American dealer placed a special order that came through Istanbul to Tabriz.
One can only imagine the feelings of the dealer and the owner upon seeing such a masterpiece finally completed especially when the weaving process took around three years to complete.
