("The California Collection") The best Serapi village tradition carpets offer an immersive visual experience and the sense of wonder that springs from the style’s resonant time-mellowed color palette. This sublime, ever-rarer-to-find classic style features an utterly captivating oversized star medallion that dwarfs its immediate surroundings. It consists of a dreamy centerpiece in exquisite celadon and buff hues, with a lotus, as viewed from above, residing at its heart. Circumjacent compartments house delightful botanical abstractions to complete its faceted shape on a dusky ivory reserve. Spacious corner spandrels are adorned with tastefully drawn vinery, leaves, and unusual floral motifs on a gorgeous striated sandstone ground. This sunset color extends into the main border, which is narrow enough to allow the expansive field pattern to shine while being proportionally eye-pleasing.
