This Persian Sarouk rug, crafted around 1925, showcases traditional design elements and intricate artistry. The rug features a wine-colored background, with a navy border framing the overall pattern. The main color is a rich red, contributing to its vibrant and striking appearance.

Constructed with wool on a cotton foundation, this rug exemplifies the typical high-quality craftsmanship associated with Sarouk pieces. The use of wool ensures a soft, velvety texture while providing durability.

Sarouk rugs are renowned for their classic curvilinear vine scrolls and elaborate arabesques, illustrating the rich artistic heritage intrinsic to Persian carpet-weaving traditions. This particular rug features a dense floral pattern spread throughout the field, consistent with the traditional Sarouk design. The pattern includes abundant and detailed botanical motifs such as flowers, leaves, and tendril-like designs, lending sophistication and elegance to the overall layout.

A prominent characteristic of Sarouk rugs is the presence of a central medallion. In this rug, the medallion stands out with its symmetrical design, surrounded by complex floral and geometric motifs in various colors. Complementing the central medallion, the borders are meticulously detailed with intricate floral patterns and geometric shapes. The main border is navy, further enhanced by thinner, detailed borders that feature complementary designs.

Color is a defining feature of this rug. The deep burgundy or maroon background provides a striking base, while accent colors such as dark navy blue, light blue, beige, pink, and touches of gold highlight the intricate floral motifs and borders. This combination of colors creates a visually appealing and harmonious piece.

The design is notable for its symmetry and density. The central medallion and the overall layout exhibit high symmetry, both horizontally and vertically, emphasizing the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this rug. The density of the pattern ensures a rich and intricate appearance, making it a distinguished example of traditional Persian Sarouk design from the early 20th century.

This Sarouk rug, with its historical and cultural significance, remains a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and durable quality of Persian weaving traditions.
