This antique Sarouk rug originates from Persia and dates back to circa 1930. The rug features a traditional Sarouk design, characterized by its classic curvilinear vine scrolls and elaborate arabesques. The background color is a deep wine, accentuated by a navy border, and the main color is a vibrant red. Constructed with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug exemplifies the high-quality materials and craftsmanship typical of Sarouk rugs from this era.

The intricate design of the rug showcases detailed floral and curvilinear motifs, creating a dense and elaborate pattern throughout. The colors are richly combined, with a dominant navy blue complemented by various shades of reds, ivory, and softer pastel highlights. A central medallion stands out prominently, incorporating a mix of ivory, light blue, and red, providing a vivid and harmonious focal point.

The borders of the rug are equally intricate, with an outermost narrow border displaying a repeating floral and vine pattern in red and ivory tones. Two main inner borders present a more complex floral design in thicker red, blue, and ivory patterns. The symmetry of the rug's design is meticulously oriented both horizontally and vertically, centering around the detailed central medallion. This symmetry extends to the corners, where similar motifs mirror each other across the centerline.

The central medallion is a striking feature with a multi-layered and complex floral pattern. It has a star-like or medallion shape, combining geometric and floral elements in brighter colors that contrast sharply against the dark navy background. The overall density of the pattern enhances the rug's visual appeal, reflecting the rich Persian carpet-weaving traditions that Sarouk rugs are known for.
