Sold by James Cohen Antique Carpets

Description

Possibly one of the greatest 'Serapi' carpets I have found in a while. The extra fine knotting quality does wonders for the drawing, you can see here just how elegant the design is. A large, powerful, midnight blue medallion floats on blood red background with ivory corners and a similar red border. Throughout are highlights of highly abrashed greens and light blues. Sadly worn quite heavily over one half but I still think there is a great deal of positive energy and decorative appeal about this rug. Not really possible to repair but in any case, with light use and an underlay it can still last many more years. The weave is extremely tough and durable, again, thanks to the extra fine and tight weave and it is priced accordingly. A good condition carpet of this level would be much more than double the price- if you can find one.
