11031 · 6'9" x 10'4" Persian Sarouk Area Rug

A dark, flower-filled medallion holds the heart of this lovely rug. At the center, it sits on a deep red field that reads burgundy from across a room, among sprays of blossoms and curling vines. Its four rounded lobes hold rose and cream flowers on a near-black ground, around a rose core set with blue blossoms. Pointed pendants edged in cream reach up and down the field. Handsome cream spandrels fill the four corners with clusters of blue blossoms. A beautiful main border runs on a near-black ground, carrying rose and cream flower heads among curling leaves. Narrow cream guard stripes, set with small red flowers, run on either side, and a red band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug. It settles a room with warm red and near-black, while the cream corners and blue blossoms keep it light. At 6'9" by 10'4", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
