Woven to last for centuries, this navy ground 1920s Persian Sarouk is a gem that will give love through the generations. Handwoven with exceptional, high grade vegetable dyed wool, and with its mansion sized body at 10’5 x 17’, this rug remains in excellent condition…pointing to its durability and how well it has been kept through the years by its prior keepers.
This particular Sarouk is a cut above the rest, as it is a Mohajeran Sarouk…known for its finer weave, superior wool quality, and more elevated drawing. The field carries an all over design that is highly desired, with repeating floral art and palmette forms spread out with breathing room, across that deep, inky navy ground…giving it balance so it never feels busy.
The border frames it with a warm terracotta tone, filled with scrolling florals and soft movement that balances the precision of the field. The contrast here really hits…crisp, but not loud. Nothing synthetic here. The rug is from mother nature through and through…sheep’s wool, vegetable dyes, and female hands. YEARS TO WEAVE.
The wool carries a high sheen, is soft to the touch, and has that density you feel right away…substantially heavy and in near mint condition.
