This rug is an antique Sarouk rug, originating from Persia around the 1940s. It features a traditional style with a rich red background extensively adorned with elaborate floral and foliage motifs, decorative elements characteristic of Sarouk carpets.
The central area of the rug is dominated by a deep red hue, which provides a striking backdrop for the intricate, densely packed designs. The floral and foliage patterns within the field include various colors like shades of green, light blue, black, and cream, each element meticulously detailed to contribute to the overall luxurious appearance.
The rug's border design includes a series of descending borders that frame the central field. The innermost border is relatively thin, displaying small, repetitive motifs in black and light blue. This is followed by a wider border characterized by a cream background, filled with more elaborate floral patterns in red, green, and blue, which contrast with the central field and add brightness to the overall visual appeal.
At the heart of the rug lies a prominent central medallion, a typical feature in traditional Persian design. This medallion is complex and symmetrical, featuring layers of floral and geometric shapes. Predominantly utilizing cream and light blue tones, it stands out against the red background, creating a focal point that draws the eye and enhances the structured beauty of the rug.
The pattern density throughout the rug is very high, leaving little open space and demonstrating the complex craftsmanship involved in its creation. Every portion of the surface is covered with intricate designs, reflecting the luxurious and detailed work synonymous with Sarouk rugs.
Constructed with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug is noted for its durability and the soft, velvety texture that results from high-quality wool. The thickness and luxuriance of the pile are hallmarks of its high quality, adding to its enduring appeal.
This antique Sarouk rug exemplifies the weaving traditions of its origin, with its rich colors, detailed patterns, and symmetrical design, making it a notable piece of historical and aesthetic value.
