Serapi / 11674

A Serapi in an open, ivory ground articulated by stepped blue cartouches and rust-red palmettes. The wool field is lightly abrased, its soft blue accents and muted pinks feeling like faded paint on a tactile surface. Borders carry small floral guards that frame the lively central lattice; overall distress is low and the surface remains even. This antique rug reads as measured and composed, its palette and geometric vocabulary revealing time and steady use while retaining presence. Circa 1880 - 1900. Exact size: 11' 6" x 12' 0". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
