Handmade Antique Persian Sarouk rug 5x7
Highly collectible handmade antique Persian Sarouk rug. Size 6.7 X 4.7 feet, made of 100% baby lamb's wool pile on cotton foundation, all natural vegetable dye, incorporating a highly detailed floral arabesque design on a rich red background; with a beautiful dual headed floral centerpiece medallion, multi layered crowned corners and dark floral trim. From Sarouk, Iran. About Sarouk rugs: Sarouk Srugs are among the most luxurious classically derived, room-sized Persian carpets. They were produced in the arak region, not far from where Fereghans and Sultanabads were made. Some of the early examples were so closely related to Fereghans that they have been designated as Sarouk-Fereghans. While the latter tend to have medallion designs, Sarouk carpets from about 1900 onward were mostly produced in an allover format, with dense sprays or bouquets of flowers and vines arrayed across the carpet symmetrically, on a deep blue or burgundy ground. This latter type is known for its soft, velvety wool and fairly thick pile.
