This antique Persian Serapi rug is a powerful and elegant example of Northwest Persian craftsmanship, showcasing a bold geometric medallion set against a rich rust-red field. The commanding central design is framed by strong angular motifs and a beautifully balanced soft blue border, creating a striking yet harmonious composition.
Hand knotted in the Serapi region during the late 19th to early 20th century, this rug reflects the architectural strength and clarity for which Serapi weavings are celebrated. The wool pile is robust yet refined, offering excellent durability while maintaining crisp detail throughout the pattern.
Naturally dyed colors have aged gracefully, developing a soft patina that enhances depth and character without sacrificing contrast. The spacious scale and confident design make this rug an exceptional anchor for living rooms, dining spaces, or grand interiors that call for presence and authenticity.
A genuine antique Persian Serapi rug that combines historical importance, bold artistry, and timeless decorative appeal.
