This antique rug originates from Persia and features the traditional Sarouk style, noted for its red background and navy border. The primary color of the rug is red, with intricate designs woven from wool on a cotton foundation. Dating back to circa 1930, this piece showcases the characteristic elements of Sarouk rugs that emerged during the early 20th century.

Sarouk rugs are renowned for their classic curvilinear vine scrolls and elaborate arabesques. The designs often incorporate local motifs filled with floral elements, emphasizing the richness of Persian carpet-weaving traditions. Typically, Sarouk rugs display either medallion-and-corner layouts or allover patterns, often featuring intricate arrangements of bouquets and foliage.

The specific rug in question exhibits a central field adorned with an elaborate floral and foliate pattern. The vibrant red base color is contrasted with floral motifs in shades of blue, green, ivory, and gold, arranged symmetrically to create a harmonious and balanced visual effect. Surrounding the central field is a wide main border in navy blue, filled with large, elaborate flower and vine patterns in colors matching those of the central field, including shades of pink, red, gold, and ivory.

Additional inner guard borders, narrower and lighter in color, possibly ivory or pale beige, are adorned with smaller floral and vine motifs that complement the main design of the rug. The pattern density is quite high, particularly in the central field, where the floral and foliate motifs are placed in close proximity to each other, enhancing the rug's intricate and detailed appearance.

Sarouk rugs are celebrated for their thick, luxurious pile and the high-quality wool used in their construction, which imparts a soft, velvety texture. This particular rug reflects the traditional aesthetic preferences of the Sarouk style while showcasing the skilled craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Persian carpet weaving. This piece exemplifies the enduring appeal and timeless design elements that make Sarouk rugs a notable addition to any collection.
