Serapi / 13256

This Serapi antique rug in wool measures 282 x 396 cm and carries a vivid yet softened palette of red, neutral, white, and cream, with restrained blue-green accents throughout. The composition is organised around a pronounced central medallion, framed by stepped geometric infill, floral motifs, and a detailed border that holds the eye from edge to edge. Its surface shows low distress, with gentle wear and mellowed colour that add depth without diminishing the pattern. Circa 1880 - 1895, this Serapi antique rug has the poised, collected character of an early woven interior textile, shaped by age and careful use.
