Sarouk / 10108

An expansive Sarouk in saturated red and burnished gold, this 12' 5" x 21' 9" antique rug reads as a richly detailed field of palmettes and flowering arabesques held within layered guard borders. The wool surface has softened with time into a tactile, low-wear plane where subtle abrash accents and preserved border detail enhance the pattern rather than obscure it. The composition balances energetic scrolling vines with disciplined border rhythm, giving a sense of measured craft and quiet presence. Circa 1900 - 1930. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
