Story

A real early Serapi, grand and dignified. The size is majestic and frankly unusual for such an early piece.

The age comes across in the rustic weave, the choice and excellence of the dye materials, the archaic border and the simple field decoration.

We can detect the weaver's skill and ambition in the multiple reds on display. Very subtle yet suavely smooth. The border is a pinkish, somewhat cherry red that may have an insect dye component. The corner spandrels are saturated madder red, verging on burgundy. The medallion is a more tomato red, lighter in tone.

The central indigo is radiant and utterly magnificent. All other blues are turquoise. What skill to balance such an interplay of 𝘡𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘳 𝘡𝘰𝘯.

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
