SERAPI-HERIZ
Northwest Persian Antique Carpet

(High-Decorative) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Antique Serapi carpets more rarely use stylized all-over designs compared to those featuring medallions. This superb example is an aesthetically pleasing hybrid of both paradigms. An implied radial medallion is presented as semi-disarticulated botanical parts like a ripple effect emanating from the deep sapphire “Window to Eternity” at its center. On closer inspection, a charming undercurrent of planned improvisation can be observed. Crisp drawing of super-stylized fronds, flowers, and leaves take the creative spontaneity of form to another level through their inventive shapes while compositionally maintaining a relaxed technical symmetry. The many individually drawn motifs are given tremendous visual interest due to a careful selection of bright coral, dark carnelian, and emerald tones deftly juxtaposed with olive, ivory, teal, and paled sky blue. At the same time, an overall time-softened patina brings tremendous warmth to the entire palette. Happily, this is. durable antique carpet with even, medium pile can comfortably play the role of an artful showpiece of a home.
