Farahan Sarouk / 20135

This Farahan Sarouk antique rug measures 127 x 201 cm and reflects the compact, highly detailed character associated with the category. An ivory octagonal medallion sits within a densely worked floral field, set against layers of red and brown patterning and a restrained border of blossoms and roundels. Wool lends the surface warmth, while cream and white highlights lift the darker palette. Circa 1900 - 1925, it shows low distress, with softened wear and the kind of age character that settles naturally into the design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
