Serapi is a name given to better quality Heriz rugs thought to have been woven before 1900.
In the United States, the highest quality of Heriz rugs are called Serapi. The name Serapi originates from the village of Serab. It is also located in northwestern Iran and has adopted some characteristics of Caucasian carpets.
To this day that is the definition of a Serapi: a very fine rug from the Heriz district of Persia. The name given these rugs was derived from a village named Serab, (as in, of Serab), even though the people of Serab only made long narrow rugs and not the roomsized carpets we see in the market.
