(Connoisseur-Caliber) The estate of a prominent southern banker, the Carolina Cache includes a series of utterly amazing 19th century Persian Serapi rugs. One is this singular large room size antique carpet that perfectly marries potent colors with a spaciously placed, stylized floral design. See how crisply each of its over-scale motifs appears. The amazing depth of its royal blues are effectively abrashed to create the sense of looking into a deep pool of water. Evolving on the loom rather than being pre-planned, its design is wonderfully nuanced. At one and a half centuries old, it possesses all of the strong suits of the very finest antique carpets from this region. (From THE CAROLINA CACHE.) Learn About This Rug Type
