Antique Sarouk Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exquisite example of a sarouk weaving showcases the exceptional quality and dense knotting characteristic of early 20th-century Persian production. The wool pile retains a beautiful luster, speaking to its enduring craftsmanship and historical significance.
The composition is defined by a bold, elongated central lozenge set against a field of warm, faded tones. While the primary field color is a rich ivory, the overall patina includes subtle shades of salmon and deep midnight blue, creating a sophisticated contrast that has mellowed beautifully over the last century.
The dense patterning within the main field utilizes repeating, highly stylized boteh forms, often interpreted as geometric rugs due to their structured repetition and strong symmetry. Despite its age, the structure remains robust, offering durable elegance. Furthermore, the small scatter size makes this piece versatile for transitional spaces, hallways, or intimate seating areas.
Originating from the golden age of Persian weaving, this piece represents a significant historical artifact. Collectors seeking authentic, well-preserved antique rugs will appreciate the depth of color and the exceptional condition of this early 20th-century textile, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Sarouk region.
