Twitter Instagram Facebook Pinterest(High-Collectible) ("Best-of-the-Best Sold in 2018") This 160-year-old piece is a quite inspired, one-of-a-kind handling of this style's beloved majestic medallion design. Its glowing, time-softened colors and ivory field transform the traditionally robust presentation to an exceedingly delicate and understated visage. Anchoring the field is an inspired petalled medallion with a dramatically abrashed, star shaped motif at its center, adding a compelling dimensionality. Its drawing captures an ethereal, floating quality and along with the artistic decision to eschew any deep shades, this virtuoso piece upends the region's typically more angular and richly toned tradition. Instead the carpet evokes a rare refinement, without relinquishing the signature stylizd Serapi way of drawing. Learn About This Rug Type
