Sarouk / 12022

A refined Sarouk in wool, this 9' 0" x 11' 0" antique rug presents a close, allover floral vine enlivened by palmettes and sinuous arabesques. The warm neutral ground and brown outlines are warmed by muted gold and soft red accents; careful wear softens the pattern without obscuring its formal rhythm. The hand of repeated motifs and the restrained distressing create a tactile surface that reads as both structured and lived-in. Circa 1895 - 1925, this Sarouk balances heritage drawing with a quietly luminous palette, a measured example of early 20th century workshop refinement in wool.
