Serapi / 14803

This Serapi antique rug measures 277 x 414 cm and carries a rich red ground lifted by blue, muted pink, and neutral accents. At the centre, a bold medallion is framed by angular floral reserves, stepped corners, and a layered field of vine-like ornament that feels both ordered and expressive. The border repeats with clarity, enclosing the composition with definition. Woven in wool, the surface shows low distress, with visible softening and gentle wear that speak to age without diminishing the pattern. Circa 1900 - 1925. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
