About the Item

74951 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Serapi Rug, 10'06 x 12'08. This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Serapi rug, dating back to the 1880s, is a splendid example of late 19th-century craftsmanship. Its design is centered around an octofoil medallion, a traditional motif that showcases intricate detailing and symmetrical beauty. This central medallion is anchored with flaming palmette pendants at either end, creating a dynamic visual effect that draws the eye towards the heart of the composition. The time-worn elegance of this piece is enhanced by its distressed rust-colored field, which lends it a sense of history and character. The distressed field is adorned with a variety of motifs, including stylized floral elements, geometric shapes, and abstract forms that are characteristic of Serapi rugs. These motifs are meticulously woven into the design, creating a rich canvas that tells a story of artistry and tradition. The corner spandrels complement the central field with their own intricate patterns, providing a balanced frame that enhances the overall composition. The use of an inner guard band with a crenelated fence design symbolizes protection and security, adding another layer of meaning to this already profound piece. Framing the central field is a classic turtle vine scroll main border, a motif known for its continuous, flowing design that symbolizes eternity and resilience. This main border is flanked by an inner and outer geometric meander guard border, which adds a touch of refinement and complexity. The colors in this Persian masterpiece are a harmonious blend of rich rusts, deep navy blues, and soft beiges, accented by touches of sage green and sky blue. The natural dyes have aged gracefully, contributing to the rug’s warm and inviting patina. Lovingly time-worn, this antique Serapi rug exudes a weathered beauty that evokes a sense of relaxed refinement and rustic sensibility. Its distressed appearance creates a warm, lived-in look that feels both timeless and curated, perfect for adding a touch of laid-back luxury to nearly any space. Whether placed in a formal living room, a cozy home office, or a sophisticated dining area, this antique Persian Serapi rug will imbue your home with a sense of history and enduring elegance. Its rustic charm and intricate design make it a truly unique piece that celebrates the art of traditional rug weaving.
