Serapi / 10310

A bold Serapi rendered in wool, the composition centers on a large elongated medallion set into a saturated red field framed by a deep navy main border. Stylised floral and geometric cartouches animate the field with crisp, angular motifs and restrained secondary tones. Wear is minimal and the surface reads with gentle patina that accentuates the hand of the weaver; the palette remains energetic yet balanced. This 11' 0" x 18' 10" antique rug carries a strong presence and a tactile, low-distress surface. Circa 1890 - 1910. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
