Serapi carpet

This exceptionally elegant square-shaped Serapi carpet draws a full Persian medallion within a diamond-shaped ivory field. Scale is large and perfect. On one hand, an over-all kaleidoscopic star-burst pattern radiating outward from the center forms the basic structure of design, while on the other, well-defined sections are individually conceived and articulated. Similarly, color is excellently balanced: with deep indigo blue and saturated madder red set against lighter ivory and sky-blue—accentuating the over-all layering effect of composition.
