A Distinctive Antique Persian Serapi Rug
This beautiful antique Persian Serapi rug was handwoven in the early 1900s and reflects the strong geometry and thoughtful craftsmanship that define the Serapi tradition. Its smaller scale makes it an ideal accent piece, perfect for entryways, bedside placement, or layered interiors.
Geometric Design & Harmonious Colors
A central geometric medallion anchors the composition, surrounded by tribal motifs that add rhythm and visual interest. The palette of ivory, blue, and muted, tempered red feels balanced and inviting, while time and use have softened the colors, creating a gentle patina that enhances the rug’s antique charm.
