About the Item
79266 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Sarouk Rug, 04'07 x 07'03. In the twilight of the 19th century, when Persian weaving ateliers were at the height of their artistry, this hand-knotted wool Sarouk rug emerged as a vision of refinement and permanence. Its navy blue field serves as a profound canvas, deeply saturated with the tones of night, upon which master weavers carefully unfurled a symphony of floral sprays in the esteemed vase design. More than mere decoration, the signature vase motif has long symbolized abundance, renewal, and the continuity of life—an eternal garden preserved in wool for the discerning collector.
The rug’s composition is a testament to the balance of power and grace. Stylized vases rise elegantly from the base, issuing fountains of blossoms and scrolling tendrils that meander across the field in rhythmic harmony. Each blossom—rosette, lotus, and curling palmette—was rendered with poetic precision, embodying both the fertile landscapes of Persia and the philosophical notion of paradise as a cultivated, eternal garden. To lay eyes upon this composition is to be reminded of life’s most enduring luxuries: beauty, heritage, and spiritual renewal.
Framing the field is a distinguished red border, its warmth and richness lending a regal counterpoint to the depth of the indigo ground. This border, flanked by inner and outer floral meander guard bands, echoes the ceaseless cycles of nature—an unbroken rhythm of flowering, flourishing, and return. The interplay between navy and red conveys not only aesthetic refinement but also a symbolic dialogue: night and day, permanence and change, balance and abundance.
This antique Sarouk rug is more than an extraordinary masterpiece of handwoven wool—it is a rare cultural heirloom, a legacy of Persian artisanship that has transcended time. To own such an exquisite work of art is to align oneself with a tradition of connoisseurship and prestige, to hold in one’s collection a woven emblem of status, refinement, and permanence. Beyond its aesthetic grandeur, this Sarouk offers symbolic value and quiet social good: the preservation of a heritage craft, the celebration of artisans whose work transcends centuries, and the stewardship of beauty meant to endure across generations.
