Serapi / 10586

A Serapi in warm red fields and neutral highlights, handwoven in wool with a bold central medallion rendered in cream and soft neutrals. The composition balances strong geometric outline with delicate floral sprays and a narrow repeating border, the surface showing a soft, even abrash that speaks to careful use. Low distress preserves the original clarity of motifs while the palette has settled into a tactile, heritage patina. This antique rug measures 9' 4" x 12' 1" and reads as both architectural and intimately worked, an object of sustained handcraft. Circa 1880 - 1900.
