ANTIQUE PERSIAN SAROUK HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 3'5'' x 4'8'': This lovely rug is a Blue Sarouk, which is that it has a blue ground. Most Sarouk have a red background. The traditional designs consist of vases of flowers at either end of the field with a central medallion composed of sprays of flowers radiating out from a large flower head. The midnight blue of the field is contrasted by the pale yellow and pale peach borders that frame the field.
CONDITION: The sides and ends of the rug have been redone and there is some loss but it doesn't detract too much from the rug.
