Uniquely elemental and visually powerful, this room size Serapi carpet is an evocative, spirited work of textile art. A wondrous sea of rare striating azure waves and cornucopia of floating botanic village imagery imbues this 10x13 carpet with a profound sense of depth and energy. Offering a glimmering, rubescent ‘Window to Eternity’, an almost hidden aqua center blossom that departs from the innermost layers of Serapi’s majestic medallion design, provides the carpet’s understated unifying element. Keeping with the beloved aesthetic of this style, no two devices are rendered quite alike, most notable in the aged coral pendants and intriguing serrated crimson overscale blossoms. Delightfully, this splendiferous village carpet remains in superb, heavier pile condition and offers a glowing patina at 140 years of age.
