The yarns of wool are handknotted onto a loom with cotton warps. So it's construction is very traditional as handweaving has remained relatively unchanged for centuries. Serapi carpets were famous for their powerful designs and geometric frameworks. Stylized and geometric floral motifs are apparent.  Originally Serapi carpets were known for their strong outlining. Here find angular leaves and flowers within a geometric framework as appendages from elongated diamond medallions.  All these are traditional motifs, as well as the serrated articulated leaves of the meandering vine and rosette border. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Modern Features of this Handwoven Rug?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistoric carpet designs are timeless and they are so expertly reinterpreted and recreated nowadays often with modern colourways that can be appreciated in this piece.
