This is a spectacular collector's piece, an antique Persian Serapi in superb condition.  This rug was handmade in the 1890s with fine craftsmanship, exquisite design and vegetable dyes that produce unique, soft colors that last for centuries. This antique masterpiece is one of the finest in our collection and the type of rug that is known to be one of the finest and most valuable in all the world.  The bold geometric, nomadic design has a prominent floral medallion at the heart of its pattern, surrounded by layers of intricate geometric motifs in perfect symmetry.  The primary color for the rug's open field is bone, which is hard to find and makes this rug even more valuable.  The corners are a rich oxblood and midnight blue, which lead to the midnight blue border, framed by thin cornflower blue and oxblood rows of charming, colorful small flowers on the vine. The rug's intricate geometric and floral details are hand-knotted in a spectacular array of rich colors that only come from vegetable dyes and have the unique patina of antique handmade rugs: coral pink, denim blue, salmon, shell pink, sky blue, silver pomegranate, ivory and other colors.  The rug's astounding layers of small leaves and vines and petals will captivate you. The rug is in excellent condition, with areas of low pile as visible in the photos, adding to the rug's character and authenticity.
