About the Item
This Rare Antique Serapi Rug (11'11" x 9'8") is a superb example of 19th-century Persian craftsmanship, showcasing the refined artistry and distinctive character of the Serapi weaving tradition. The rug features an elegant ivory field adorned with a delicate floral and butterfly sanctuary motif, blending the bold tribal spirit of Serapi design with the grace of nature-inspired elements. The result is a harmonious composition that radiates both strength and serenity.
Woven with hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes, this Serapi displays a rare and desirable color palette of soft ivories, muted blues, and gentle coral tones, all aged to perfection. Its intricate medallion and balanced symmetry reflect the sophistication of Persian village weaving at its finest.
Perfect for grand living rooms, dining areas, or curated interiors, this rug’s exceptional quality, rarity, and tranquil beauty make it a centerpiece of timeless elegance and enduring value.
