(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Mid-19th-century Serapis have long been highly desirable to wealthy European and American buyers for their crisper, more finely linear articulation and their magnificent artistic expression in grand spaces. They were woven during a period of peak creativity, allowing a much broader exploration of rarely seen color palettes. The alluring, pacific pastel palette in this piece offers a tonal masterpiece worthy of a lifetime of appreciation, with tempting shades of pale watermelon, aqua, and sky blue playing off hues of brilliant vermillion, cobalt blue, turquoise, emerald green, and midnight indigo. The overscale lobed medallion, surrounded by a sparse arrangement of vines and painterly blossoms, allows the expression of the open design aesthetic in compelling simplicity, which is unique to Serapis. This is the quality that makes high-collectible-level Serapis the optimal choice for important spaces. Finally, the exquisite use of delicate, spontaneous shading variations is the finishing touch that gives the composition its artistic depth, and delights with every color constantly and intriguingly changing.
