Antique Serapi Persian Rug 42733

Antique Serapi Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century - On this classically elegant antique Serapi, a star-like medallion in shades of red, green, and blue hovers at the center of a soft red field, surrounded by delicate vines and palmettes in soft green. Ivory cornerpieces complete the field design, but filled with elements whose colors repeat the palette of the medallion and field. The vinescroll border also recapitultes the details of the field as well as the rich blue of the outer medallion, to produce a harmonious yet powerful frame for the monumental scale of the central design.
