Antique Sarouk Persian Rug 43436

Antique Sarouk, Persia, early twentieth centuryAn allover design of lush, leafy stems, flowers, and palmettes repeats in graceful symmetry across the pale salmon field of this lavish antique Sarouk. A denser design of repeating flowery trees or shrubs makes up the border, on a deep blue ground that offers a contrast to the field, while salmon-ground minor borders provide a transition between them. Here the famed Sarouk plush pile adds the final touch of opulence to the entire composition.
