(Connoisseur-Caliber) Among the extremely rare group of area size Serapi rugs, we have not seen another with such mesmerizing beauty as this 5x6 piece. Its scale of design alone quite innovatively uses the regional pattern language to great success. Eschewing the grand Serapi centerpiece, here an undersized rosette medallion centers the over-scale blossoming vinery and unusual anchor motifs in the corner pieces. The heavily ornamented border suite provides a highly effective counterbalance to the spaciousness of the field pattern, as harmony is created through echoing its blues, greens, roses and golds, leaving the carnelian red to the field alone. An atypically fine weave for a Serapi rug coupled with exceptionally lustrous wool and a regal palette create an overall effect of profound drama and an overriding sense of sweetness.
