Farahan Sarouk / 14838

This Farahan Sarouk antique rug in wool measures 10' 4" x 14' 6" and carries the poised formality associated with the type. A saturated red field is framed by navy, ivory, and gold detail, with a central medallion anchored by delicate floral ornament and corner spandrels that soften the composition. The border is intricately drawn and richly balanced, giving the whole piece a layered, heirloom quality. Circa 1900 - 1920, it shows low distress and the kind of gentle age that lends depth without overwhelming the design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
