Origin: Persia
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 135 × 110 cm
Description:
A rare find in both format and craftsmanship, this small-size Karajeh Serapi rug distills the monumental character of northwest Persian weaving into a concentrated gem. Its deep indigo field frames a crisp ivory medallion flanked by stylized “lobed” cartouches, while serrated leaves and symbolic motifs bloom outward in symmetrical balance.
Its narrow terracotta border, woven with archaic latch-hook and star motifs, enhances the visual richness without overwhelming the composition.
