An expansive Sarouk in muted brown and cream, the composition defined by a dense floral allover and multiple floral borders. The wool shows significant surface wear, pronounced abrash and areas of low pile that reveal a soft, lived-in texture; the borders remain legible though softened at the edges. The rug reads as a study in faded colour and fine floral motifs, its scale and patina speaking to extended use and careful life. Circa 1900 - 1925. 414 x 658 cm, this antique rug carries the measured confidence of Sarouk design with an eloquent, worn tactility.
