This Serapi in wool presents a dominant red central medallion within an ivory-tinged ground, edged by a dark navy outer border punctuated with angular floral cartouches. The design language is geometric and architectural, with layered borders giving the composition a measured rhythm. Surface wear is low and the colours retain a warm depth, showing subtle abrash that highlights vintage character. As an antique rug the piece reads as both graphic and textural, offered in a generous 335 x 574 cm scale. Circa 1875 - 1890. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
