Antique Sarouk Wool Coral Rug

Antique Sarouk Wool Coral Rug, Country of Origin: Iran Persia, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece, woven in the 1920s, showcases the fine craftsmanship associated with its Persian origin. Its dense wool pile and rich saturation immediately establish it as a premier example of antique rugs. The field is dominated by a stunning, deep coral hue, a color achieved through natural dyes that has mellowed beautifully over a century. This rich background serves as the perfect canvas for the intricate floral sprays and palmettes, rendered in contrasting tones of deep indigo, soft cream, and muted gold. Unlike medallion compositions, this Sarouk utilizes an elaborate allover design where stylized blossoms and vinery repeat seamlessly across the entire length of the field.
