11257 · 10'6" x 13'7" Persian Sarouk Oversized Rug

The lobed near-black medallion at the center draws the eye first on this lovely rug. Dusty rose carries the whole field, scattered with graceful flower sprays and small blossoms in blue, brown and pale blue green. At the medallion’s core sits a pale blue green star, set with brown and dusty rose flowers. A small lobed pendant sits above it and another below. Near-black spandrels fill the four corners, edged in scrolling leaves and lined with pale blue green. A handsome pale blue green border carries a vine of flower heads in brown, blue and near-black. Narrow guard stripes in brown and blue run along both sides of it, set with tiny flowers. The pile is low, and pale patches show across the field where it has thinned further. It holds a large room in quiet color, the dusty rose field cooled by its blue green border. At 10'6" by 13'7", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.

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.
