Beautiful And Finely Woven Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th Century – Lush palmettes, delicate flowers, and sinuous vines unfold with the utmost grace across the surface of this exquisite antique Sarouk Farahan. Unlike the mass-produced Sarouk rugs of the twentieth century, here the various design elements are united by a continuous network of fine vines that suggest a latent reciprocal medallion composition. The vine scroll palmette border is set against a red ground in pleasing contrast to the blue-ground field of this fine Persian Sarouk Farahan antique rug . The palette too is more varied and classic than later Sarouk rugs, nicely complementing the more classic treatment of the design elements.
