(Connoisseur-Caliber)
("New Arrivals Gallery") This commanding, oversize Serapi carpet in extremely good condition demonstrates powerful, mature artistry and the excellent craftsmanship found only in this style’s the finest 19th century representatives. Its mind-boggling medallion evokes the never-before-seen effect of movement like it is slowly melting or changing shape. Reflecting a masterful color-smithing, a triad of Spanish orange, iridescent cerulean, and actual golden camelhair creates a stunning, dynamic chiaroscuro with the deep indigo zones in this visionary Serapi design. As this style became widely sought-after internationally, family workshops responded to this demand, some finding venue funding that allowed them to create carpets in larger dimensions and with finer knotting. Carpet weaving at this level is comparable to some Persian Town examples; the formal Shah Abbas pattern used on classical carpets is sometimes seen, as here, in Serapi borders.
