845. a courtly Sarouk rug Persia

845. Provenance: Sarouk, western Persia

Size: 196 x 130 cm

Age: circa 1940

Condition: Good with low(ish) pile. Slightly darker one end than other, and note the slightly assymetrical design/weave.

Notes: An attractive northwest Persian rug with a typical Sarouk floral design. The colours are very easy on the eye and the somewhat uneven design (the main medellion is rather off-centre), to my mind, adds to the appeal.
