Iconic & Mystical Art Serapi Rug from the Northwest Mountains, c. Early 1900's

About the Item

Unreal Serapi iconic beauty from the Northwest Mountains About: One-of-one true gem from the mountains of the northwest. Incredibly rich saturated yet refined colors drank by strong and robust sheep's wool from remote regions of the world. Double madder-root border and field that departs from the typical contrasting border and field color. This use of similar colors in both areas creates a larger-than-life feel and actually helps the center medallion stand out more, and of course, accompanied by the gorgeous 4 corner spandrels. The condition of these old pieces are always to be discussed; ancient old restoration and every single noteworthy issue that this piece has will be restored all done by hand, all done with love, care, soul, and pride by master weavers - the same way this piece was woven nearly 120 years ago. Due to its age, the fringe ends are worn into the border but somehow it's only a few inches on each side - sometimes the border on the fringe sides are gone altogether but they are intact on this piece. Incredible to think after all this time, 120-year-old organic wool, dyes derived from the earth we all share, and techniques passed down that dates back to over 2,500 years ago that we are in the presence of such timeless and powerful art in the condition that it is in. True beauty never dies, high-quality materials always last, and the story and soul of this piece will continue for another 120 years without a doubt. Size: 10 x 12 Age: Antique, C.
