Sarouk / 10967

A wool Sarouk with a deep indigo ground, this antique rug carries a dense floral lattice of palmettes, rosettes and scrolling vines, punctuated by coral and sage accents. The broad coral main border and slim guard stripes frame the field while low wear reveals gentle abrash and a mellow, tactile surface. Generous in scale at 279 x 541 cm, the piece retains clear motif definition and an assured sense of proportion. Circa 1915 - 1930. The rug’s layered colour and measured pattern reflect a patient craft tradition and the formal vocabulary of Sarouk design.
