The rug originates from Persia, specifically from the Sarouk region, and showcases traditional design elements. This Persian Sarouk rug, woven circa 1910, features a rust background with a navy border and red as the dominant color. Its composition consists of wool piled on a cotton foundation.

Sarouk rugs are recognized for their classic curvilinear vine scrolls and elaborate arabesques, often incorporating a wealth of floral elements that reflect the rich Persian carpet-weaving tradition. This particular rug adheres to those standards with an intricate array of floral and botanical motifs scattered across its main field. These include various flowers, leaves, and stems, woven in differing sizes and orientations to create a visually appealing and harmonious design.

The main field of the rug presents a vivid red-orange background, with patterns incorporating shades of blue, green, yellow, and beige. The rug's symmetrical patterning further enhances its aesthetic appeal, creating balanced visuals both horizontally and vertically. The borders are notable for their multiple layers; the outermost layer displays floral motifs on a dark navy background, which contrasts with the red-orange of the central field. Inside this, there is a slimmer secondary border with fewer colors but still maintaining a floral design theme.

The density of the pattern in this rug is moderate, with the central area less densely packed compared to the edges, where a mixture of larger and smaller floral elements fills the space more richly. This variation in pattern density adds to the rug's overall dynamic visual appeal.

The materials used—wool on a cotton foundation—contribute to the rug’s durability and its soft, velvety texture. The high-quality wool pile is thick and luxurious, underscoring the craftsmanship that Sarouk rugs are celebrated for. This rug exemplifies the early 20th-century trend in Sarouk rug-making, which favored allover floral and vine arrangements.

Overall, this Persian Sarouk rug, with its rich colors, intricate floral patterns, and robust construction, embodies the historical and cultural significance that these rugs hold within Persian weaving traditions.
