Farahan Sarouk / 10038

A considered Farahan Sarouk in wool, 203 x 292 cm. A deep central medallion nestles within a neutral field, embroidered with sinuous floral vines and palmettes in gold and green. The restrained, multi-register floral border contains the composition with clear repeat and measured rhythm; the surface shows low wear and a soft hand that speaks to careful use. Colour contrasts remain lively without harshness, the overall effect composed and tactile. This antique rug retains clarity of design and a subtle patina, an object that quietly reveals its craft over time. Circa 1900 - 1915
