Antique Persian Sarouk Rug
Size: 8'10" x 11'6"
Date: 1900s
Material: Wool on cotton
A magnificent early 20th-century Persian Sarouk rug, celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship, luxurious wool, and richly ornamented design. Set against a deep midnight-blue field, an elaborate arrangement of scrolling vines, palmettes, flowering plants, and graceful boteh motifs creates a dense and highly decorative composition.
The warm palette of coral, rose, ivory, soft blue, and gold stands out beautifully against the dark ground, giving the rug remarkable depth and visual richness. Every inch of the field is filled with finely drawn floral detail, while the broad, intricately woven borders provide an elegant frame that enhances the overall balance of the design.
Renowned for their durability and artistic sophistication, Sarouk rugs were among the most sought-after Persian carpets of the early 20th century. This example displays the refined drawing, harmonious color palette, and superb weaving quality that have made antique Sarouks enduring favorites among collectors and interior designers alike.
An impressive room-size carpet combining beauty, craftsmanship, and timeless Persian elegance.
