Serapi / 13147

This Serapi antique rug, 11' 7" x 17' 4", presents a commanding field of warm red balanced by cream and neutral reserves, with quiet touches of soft blue and terracotta woven through the design. A large central medallion anchors the composition, while angular floral motifs and stepped borders lend the surface its characteristic architectural rhythm. The drawing remains crisp despite low distress, with a softened patina that speaks to age without obscuring detail. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the grounded elegance and layered color that define a classic Serapi.
