About the Item

90025 Antique Persian Serapi Rug, 08'09 x 12'02. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Persian Serapi rug, dating back to the late 19th century, is a masterful representation of traditional Persian craftsmanship. Its intricate design is centered around a stunning octofoil medallion, a hallmark of Serapi artistry. This medallion is elegantly anchored with flaming palmette pendants at either end, adding a sense of dynamic movement and grandeur to the composition. The bold central medallion commands attention and serves as the focal point of the rug, drawing the eye inward to appreciate the detailed craftsmanship and harmonious balance of the design. Surrounding the central medallion, the field is adorned with an array of geometric and floral motifs, typical of Serapi rugs. These motifs include stylized leaves, angular palmettes, lotus blossoms, rosettes, and abstract forms that create a complex and mesmerizing tableau. The corner spandrels echo the main design elements but with a more subdued palette, providing a pleasing contrast that frames the central field beautifully. The harmonious interplay of the esoteric motifs in the field and the corner spandrels showcases the weaver's skill in creating a balanced yet intricate design. The Persian Serapi rug is framed with a classic Herati border, featuring rosettes and serrated leaves. This traditional border design is flanked by an inner and outer rectilinear floral meander guard border, adding layers of depth and detail to the overall composition. The visually striking enclosure adds a touch of elegance and continuity, seamlessly tying the border to the central field. The meticulous attention to detail in the borders enhances the rug's overall aesthetic and highlights the intricate artistry typical of late 19th-century Serapi rugs. The color palette of this antique rug is rich and varied, featuring deep reds, blues, and vibrant accents of gold and green. The central medallion stands out with its striking use of navy blue, vibrant red and pops of dark pink, while the surrounding field motifs incorporate softer hues of sky blue, beige, and green, creating a beautiful contrast. The borders, with their rich navy background, further accentuate the vibrancy of the central field. The natural dyes used in this antique Persian Serapi rug have aged gracefully, adding a patina that only enhances its antique charm. The back of the rug shows tight and consistent weaving, indicative of high-quality craftsmanship that indicates an authentic antique piece. The wool is of fine quality, which is another sign of an older, well-made rug. This Persian masterpiece, with its captivating design and rich colors, is a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of Persian Serapi rugs and would be a stunning focal point in any interior setting.
