Green Field 8 1/2 Foot Serapi Carpet

Size: 6 foot 4 inch by 8 foot 5 inch.

It took a lot of work but we have found some wonderfully different Persian carpets to offer here on eBay. Lately I have been seeing all the same rugs on eBay and I don't want to want to offer the same thing as everyone else. This latest collection has fantastic quality very stylish rugs. This is a classic Serapi with fantastic color. This rug is without flaw and in "As New" condition.

When these were sold there was some nasty critisism because we called thse Serapi. On the basis of out of date sources some poor fool concluded that these could not be Serapi. This is what was being woven in Serab in the late 20th century. Note in the detail to the left that the two meadions are side by side. This shows that they were using one cartoon for a number of different sizes. By taking the design in from the corners it allows the cartoon mistakes to be in the middle whare they are less noticable.
