SERAPI
Northwest Persian Antique Carpet

(Connoisseur-Caliber) A small subset of Serapi’s majestically-patterned rugs, exemplified here, are those with an allover pattern set upon a ground of deep sapphire that showcases this genre’s chromatic splendor. Large varied frond shapes connected by glistening golden vinery lend a hidden structure to the energetic field pattern in which no two elements are rendered in the same manner. The color palette is sumptuous, led by a resonant vermillion found throughout the field and classical, yet innovative Shah Abbas border. With such a delectable array of glowing naturally dyed hues, precise drawing, and remarkable heavy-pile condition, this casual 130- to 140-year-old art carpet would be equally at home in a contemporary or even ultra-modern decor as it would in a traditional setting.
