Sarab was both a town and a Khanate. Khanate is an old fashion term for an administrative district or state. The use of i on the end indicates that it is from Sarab so simply put Sarabi means from Sarab. All the rugs and carpets from the Heriz area would have been known as Sarab under the old name of the area. The carpets known in the trade as Serapi are clearly from the old Sarab Khanate. 

Stately and luxurious, the Serapi rug features dramatic hand-knotted geometric patterns with generously spaced motifs. True antique Serapis refer to Heriz carpets woven during the late 19th century in Northwestern Iran. The Serapi Collection evokes the timeless style of old world artisans, expertly crafted in India from the finest New Zealand Siberian handspun wool.
