Serapi / 10586

This Serapi presents a deep red field and neutral centre motifs, handwoven in wool with cream accents and refined floral detailing. The large central medallion and angular corner cartouches sit within a narrow, repeating floral border; surface wear is restrained with low distress and a soft, even abrash that lends a lived-in texture. The piece reads as an antique rug with clear, deliberate composition and a warm, muted palette that has mellowed over time. Measurements: 284 x 368 cm. Circa 1880 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
