This antique Persian rug, specifically a Sarouk, is a traditional style piece dating back to around 1910. Characterized by its medium blue background and contrasting red border, the rug features a classic Sarouk design with intricate and dense floral patterns. Predominantly composed of wool on a cotton foundation, Sarouk rugs from this era are renowned for their durability and luxurious texture.

Sarouk rugs originate from the village of Sarouk in Persia, which contributes to their unique features and historical significance. The design elements of Sarouk carpets often include elaborate curvilinear vine scrolls and detailed arabesques. These designs typically reflect the rich artistic heritage of Persian carpet-weaving traditions, filled with botanical elements such as flowers, tendrils, and leaves, arranged in both medallion-and-corner layouts and allover patterns.

The dominant color of this rug is a rich, deep blue, embellished with a variety of secondary colors, primarily red, along with accents in shades of cream, beige, light blue, and green. The dense floral pattern covers most of the rug's surface, leaving minimal empty space. The rug also features multiple borders, with the outermost being the widest and showcasing a repeating floral motif on a red background. The inner borders are narrower and exhibit more intricate designs, including alternating diagonal patterns.

In terms of symmetry, the rug displays bilateral symmetry both horizontally and vertically, creating a balanced and harmonious appearance. Although this Sarouk rug lacks a distinct central medallion, it does feature a central floral motif that serves as a focal point. This central area is intricately integrated into the overall pattern, highlighting an elaborate arrangement of flowers and botanical elements.

Sarouk carpets evolved significantly around 1900, with changes in design reflecting shifts in color use and pattern density. Despite these evolutions, the craftsmanship and design principles have remained consistent, making Sarouk rugs a significant part of Persian culture. The thick, luxurious pile of this piece, along with the high-quality wool used, contributes to its soft and velvety texture.

This Sarouk rug is an example of the intricate design, skilled craftsmanship, and historical value associated with Persian rugs from this period. Its detailed floral patterns, rich color palette, and durable construction make it a noteworthy piece within the realm of antique rugs.
