This tremendously original rendition of the powerful Serapi format tends toward a yin expression of this style’s traditional elements and in doing so creates an entirely unique, welcoming ambiance. Devoid of this traditional style's blue-black shadings, this astonishing piece creates an original duet between a wondrously striated crimson field and the golden wheat to corn silk yellow of the main border; the frame seeming to add illumination to the nuanced chromatic display across the ground. Its drawing is exceedingly crisp and spaciously presented, with each leaf, frond, and blossom silhouetted so that its palette of difficult-to-dye delicate tonalities can be enjoyed. This remarkable room-size carpet offers exceedingly good condition.
