Antique Serapi – Bakshaish Rug – 291108

A bold brick red cartouche medallion overlays a plain beige field and is centered by navy hectogram terminating in light green volute pendants. Writhing thick vines grow from the corners of the center and match those surrounding the dark blue corners.
there is no secondary ornament but only the stark juxtaposition of plain areas and this makes four a particularly striking example of the type.
