8'8 x 12'4 Hand-Knotted Persian Sarouk Style Area Rug

Item Details

This exemplary antique Persian Mahajiran Sarouk rug showcases the refined floral artistry of the Arak region from the early 20th century. The composition centers on a multi-lobed navy and gold medallion resting upon a luminous terracotta field, surrounded by elegantly spaced floral sprays and scrolling vines. The rug is framed by a traditional navy-ground main border featuring repeating palmettes and flower-heads. Known for using the highest grade of wool available in Persia at the time, this Mohajeran example retains a high, dense pile and a soft, supple handle. Its sophisticated color palette and balanced proportions represent the peak of commercial Persian weaving intended for the luxury export market.
