Serapi / 15144

This Serapi antique rug measures 11' 0" x 13' 7" and carries the grounded geometry and saturated colour that define the type. A rust red field centres a stepped medallion in navy and cream, while the blue border frames the composition with repeating floral and angular motifs. The palette of neutral, blue, white, and cream reads with clarity against the warmer ground, creating a vivid but settled presence. Low distress leaves the surface character intact, with age-softened detail and light wear that suit its history. Circa 1880 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
