Classic Rustic Antique Geometric Medallion Design Persian Serapi Rug 46424

Serapi Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – This transcendent antique Persian Serapi carpet depicts a robust octofoil medallion with articulate botanical decorations that are rendered in a delicate and unusually feminine selection of warm tones, including blushing salmon pinks, fiery persimmons, creamy neutrals and pastel hues. Brick-red main borders filled with an elaborate reciprocating turtle-and-vine-scroll pattern ground the light, richly colored composition. Delicate vine scrolls meander around the field showing off the abrashed persimmon ground and giving the composition an airy sense of levity. The brilliantly colored field of this spectacular antique Persian Serapi rug is emblazoned with a classical Northwest Persian octofoil medallion featuring dramatic re-curving pendants and botanical lobster-claw decorations. Articulate spandrels with well-defined botanical decorations and Buddha’s hand crowns frame the elegantly styled field and highlight the obscure midnight blues that complete the traditional color palette while maintaining the posh style of this antique Persian Serapi rug.
