This extraordinary room-size carpet features a captivating and seldom-seen all over "Tree of Life" design, a profound symbol of growth, connection, and spiritual renewal, elegantly rendered across its field.
What makes this Serapi rug particularly unique and highly coveted is its very rare allover pattern set on a blue field background.

Destined to be displayed and cherished, this heirloom-quality textile will be enjoyed for generations, bringing unparalleled beauty, historical depth, and spiritual significance to any discerning interior.
