Farahan Sarouk / 10595

An elegant Farahan Sarouk centred by a deep medallion set into a warm red field, this antique rug pairs palmette motifs and scrolling floral vines within layered borders. Woven in wool, the palette balances saturated red with cream and neutral highlights while the dark centre anchors the composition. Surface wear is low and a soft abrash cushions the dyes, allowing pattern and texture to read with quiet age. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measures 6' 7" x 9' 9", a tactile example of measured drawing and preserved handwork that retains an intimate, considered presence.
