About the Item
79411 Antique Persian Sarouk Rug, 11'10 x 15'06. Woven in Persia at the dawn of the 20th century, this hand knotted wool antique Sarouk rug embodies the final, confident expression of Qajar-era artistry—before modernity reshaped the language of Persian design. This extraordinary masterpiece reflects a moment when weaving was both an artistic discipline and a cultural inheritance, executed with patience, precision, and an unspoken understanding of beauty meant to endure. Rugs of this caliber were commissioned for grand interiors, intended to project refinement, permanence, and cultivated authority.
The exceptional field unfolds as a continuous floral garden, dense and immersive, where blossoms, palmettes, and scrolling foliage flow seamlessly without interruption. Rather than relying on a single dominant medallion, the exclusive composition favors a rhythmic allover design—an intentional choice that creates visual depth and an almost architectural sense of movement. The drawing is slightly compressed, a hallmark of Sarouk weaving from this period, giving the softly structured surface a lush, layered presence that rewards prolonged viewing.
Every signature motif feels organically connected, as though grown rather than placed. The floral forms echo classical Persian garden layouts, where abundance symbolizes prosperity, order, and divine harmony. This approach, deeply rooted in late Qajar aesthetics, resists rigid symmetry in favor of fluid continuity—an effect that lends the precious rug both intimacy and grandeur. The result is a sumptuous surface that feels alive, balanced between discipline and natural expression.
Framing the majestic composition is a multi-band border of remarkable sophistication, composed of layered floral vines, rosettes, and scrolling guards that mirror the vitality of the field. Each band serves a distinct visual function, creating cadence and refinement without overpowering the interior. This nuanced border work, rich with variation and subtle shifts in scale, reflects the finest Sarouk traditions of the late 19th century. For the discerning collector, this exquisite work of art is more than an heirloom—it is a museum-worthy testament to Persian artistry at its most confident and enduring.
