SERAPI
Northwest Persian Antique Carpet

(Connoisseur-Caliber) Art-caliber antique Serapi carpets, such as this awe-inspiring, extraordinarily balanced piece, offer sublime 19th-century softened colors, with naively drawn flora, vines, and leaves. To the great delight of aficionados, in this 150-year-old piece, no two botanical elements are rendered quite the same across the exceptionally spacious and color striated carnelian reserve, where oversized, eight-petalled medallion tranquility resides. Its rarified and radiant sapphire blue is particularly delightful. The delicate celadon of its “animal skin” center and within the outlying golden sand spandrels is breathtakingly exquisite, as are the rose gold blushes used as accent tones throughout. Blessed with the longevity of superlative workmanship and still exhibiting wonderful pile condition, this treasure with its particularly well-spaced design resonates with a glistening patina.
