Serapi / 10729

An expansive Serapi in wool fibre, this antique rug carries a refined central medallion framed by an emphatic scrolling floral field. The colour reads neutral and cream, the layered motifs creating depth and tactility while low distress retains clear drawing and resilient pile. Gentle abrash and soft surface wear add an authentic, tempered character without compromising the borders. Measuring 457 x 663 cm, the proportions feel deliberate and composed, a disciplined study of pattern and heritage craft. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
