A dazzling scatter of leafy palmettes and flowers repeats in elegant allover symmetry across the field of this luxuriant antique Sarouk.

Antique Sarouk, Persia, early twentieth centuryA dazzling scatter of leafy palmettes and flowers arranged in vertical columns repeats in elegant allover symmetry across the rich terracotta red field of this luxuriant antique Sarouk. The elements are reconfigured to produce the border design, where the palette of the field is reversed onto a soft blue ground that provides a lovely framing contrast for the field. The thick lustrous wool pile of the carpet combines beautifully with the richness of its design and coloration.
