Intricately Detailed Antique Persian Serapi Medallion Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900
A powerful central medallion organizes the composition in stepped layers of red, ivory, dark blue and muted green. Angular arabesques, stylized palmettes and small floral motifs spread through the surrounding field, giving the design both architectural structure and lively movement. A deep navy border filled with rosettes and curling vines frames the brighter interior and brings greater depth to the palette.

The combination of saturated color, crisp drawing and generous scale could anchor a traditional interior or introduce strong graphic character to a more contemporary room. Because the placement of a medallion can affect the balance of surrounding furniture, consult the rug size guide when planning the layout. The guide to buying antique rugs also offers useful information about comparing age, condition and design.
