Antique Sarouk, Persia, circa 1900 - A lush diamond openwork medallion of flowery vine clusters hovers within a vibrant terracotta open field on this extravagant antique Sarouk.

Add additional corolla of loose sprays floats at the edge of the large oval field. The main border reworks the field elements as a continuous leafy vinescroll set on a navy ground to provide a darker contrasting frame for more open structure of the field design. The plush velvety pile underscores the aura of refined luxury.
