With an exceptionally dark field and delicately-colored borders, this Mehajeran Sarouk carpet from western Iran exemplifies the symmetric form, recurved branches, and cascading flower clusters popularized by the region. In addition to the rich color scheme associated with rugs from Sarouk, the open arabesque pattern allows the dark background to show though, which dramatically sets off the bright floral-saz leaf border and intricate guard bands.
