Antique Sarouk Small Scatter Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of a sarouk weaving showcases the high-quality wool and dense knotting characteristic of Persian production during the early 20th century. Its practical small scatter size makes it an ideal accent piece for an entryway or beside a hearth.
The primary field is dominated by a rich, saturated coral hue, lending the piece warmth and vibrancy. This distinctive coral color palette is beautifully contrasted by deep indigo and subtle slate blue secondary motifs, which provide visual depth without overwhelming the central design.
The central design features a highly stylized medallion structure, defined by strong geometric elements interwoven with abstracted botanical forms. Unlike the more overtly curvilinear designs of some neighboring regions, this rug maintains a structured, almost architectural symmetry throughout its field.
A testament to enduring craftsmanship, this hand-knotted textile offers collectors a superb piece of history. It represents the finest qualities sought in antique rugs, combining durability, sophisticated color use, and authentic regional artistry.
