Woven in the early decades of the 20th century, this palatial Persian Sarouk measures an impressive 11’2 x 20’5 and is drenched in one of the most extraordinary salmon coral grounds ever encountered. The color seems to glow from within, shifting throughout the day as natural light catches the lanolin rich wool. She radiates.
Across the expansive field, elegant floral sprays unfurl in every direction. Delicate blossoms, scrolling vines, and graceful botanical forms create a garden like composition that feels airy despite its monumental scale. The deep indigo border frames the composition perfectly, creating dramatic contrast against the warm coral field and allowing every detail to sing.
The wool is EXCEPTIONAL. A century later, it remains lustrous, strong, and stout. This is no flimsy rug. She is substantially heavy and luxurious, loaded with top tier vegetable dyed wool that can withstand generations more. The natural lanolin still present in the fibers gives the surface a rich sheen and depth that simply cannot be replicated. This is the sort of old world wool that made Sarouk rugs famous among collectors and designers alike.
Condition is outstanding. Original wool pile remains intact throughout with a healthy, even surface and wonderful clarity of design. The weave retains excellent integrity, offering both beauty and durability for generations to come.
Whether anchoring a grand living room, library, dining hall, or estate scale interior, this is the kind of rug that transforms a space. A true heirloom weaving with presence, warmth, and extraordinary color.
