Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1920-1930, this 10x13 antique rug is an exemplary new addition to Rug & Kilim’s curations of the celebrated Serapi provenance and weaving tradition. On the Design: Designers and admirers of the craft alike will particularly appreciate this antique Serapi’s outstanding size—one of the best and most versatile one can find in antique rugs and among them, rugs of its period, and all-the-more impressive considering its level of love, detail, and overall sophistication. This grand work seems to exemplify those of its lineage while subtly innovating the style to a keen eye. Woven with meticulous craftsmanship, the piece showcases a geometric medallion design—a hallmark of traditional design. The color palette is both regal and earthy, featuring brown, beige, red, green, blue, cream and accents of pink. These sophisticated tones create a beautiful contrast against the taupe ground, lending the piece a dramatic presence that remains harmonious and balanced. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as a particularly expressive work among rugs, with very finely woven drawings of exceptional quality.Condition: This antique Serapi rug further enjoys good condition, with minor areas of distress consistent with its age and origins.
