Serapi / 10317

A substantial Serapi in wool, its stepped central medallion sits within a serrated, botanical lattice that reads both formal and organic. The deep neutral ground is enlivened by gold and green accents and framed by a broad floral border; pattern edges show refined geometric restraint. Low distress preserves a tactile pile and clear motif definition, while gentle abrash gives the surface a sun-warmed, lived quality. At 12' 1" x 17' 11" the scale is authoritative yet calm, a marker of considered craft and timeworn color harmonies. Circa 1885 - 1900. This antique rug carries quiet presence and measured texture.
