SERAPI
9' 2" x 13' 9" (279 x 419cm) 3rd Qtr., 19th C.
(High-Collectible) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Woven over a century and a half ago, this spectacular Serapi carpet reflects the collective genius of those who created a one-of-a-kind design while remaining rooted in the classic Serapi canon so beloved by our clients. A casual majesty is on full display in this piece, starting with its splendiferous medallion as an immense coral-hued flowerhead orchestrating a lively assemblage of stylized flora. It is capped by two miter-shaped pendants, housing classical palmettes similar to those that once adorned ancient Greek temples. The botanical grandeur continues in the parchment reserve where a controlled spontaneity reigns. Understated and dramatic color shifts elevate the dimensionality and artistry of this village-woven masterpiece, including the sumptuous red tonalities in the border where an animated Shah Abbas design dances among sporadic florets that float like cherry blossoms on the spring breeze. This collectible art carpet can entertain a range of moods from minimalist refinement to richly furnished maximalist interiors while its condition and durability allow for years of use on the floor, and years of joyful reverie triggered by every glance.
