SERAPI, Northwest Persian

(High-Decorative)
Presenting a highly innovative, emotive collaboration between a singular palette of color, a well-spaced, overscale design and a grand center medallion, this startlingly beautiful Serapi carpet would make a dazzling centerpiece for either a traditional or modern room. A century before the modern turn toward intense color zones, this virtuoso compartmented medallion makes an extraordinary impact with its ethereally striated rare greens that are a perfect counterpoint to the open crimson reserve. A tertiary palette of beguiling naturally dyed colors fill the array of artful motifs from the beloved Serapi stylized pattern language .
