11102 · 7'10" x 9'10" Persian Sarouk Oversized Rug

A navy medallion at the center catches the eye first on this lovely rug. Across a dusty rose field, small flower heads, buds and leaves are scattered over fine curling vines. The handsome lobed navy medallion holds blue and rust blossoms around a pale blue rosette core, with a small navy pendant floating above and below. Steel blue spandrels fill the four corners, each holding a cluster of vines and blossoms inside a cream outline. The main border runs on navy, carrying a chain of large rust and cream rosettes linked by a zigzag vine. A wide cream guard stripe of small flower heads lines its inner edge, and narrow stripes of rose and blue close the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug. It suits a room of warm wood and pale blue upholstery, picking up the dusty rose of the field and the navy at its heart. At 7'10" by 9'10", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

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.
