Serapi / 14137

This Serapi antique rug, measuring 234 x 348 cm, combines cream, red, navy, and teal in a composition that feels ordered yet richly layered. The stepped central medallion is surrounded by angular blossoms, geometric devices, and a dark border packed with rosettes and octagons, creating crisp contrast across the wool field. Low distress leaves the drawing legible, while soft wear and subtle tonal shifts lend character without overwhelming the design. Circa 1885 - 1900, this piece reflects the graphic strength and restraint associated with Serapi rugs, with a quietly weathered surface and an assured visual rhythm.
