Description

This lovely Persian rug from the early 20th century belongs to a group often referred to as 'American Sarouks' as many of them were exported to the USA. They were to made to different standards, but this one is of the finer quality which is called 'Mohajjeran'. The wool quality is delightful, soft and velvety while the knot count and quality of the weave point to a superior weaving workshop. The pile is thin and fine which allows for a clearer definition of the design elements. The design of floral clusters is very decorative and typical of the 'American Sarouk' group. Note the harmonious colours especially the pink field, light blues, golds, oranges and sapphire blue border. It is a delightful piece which has survived the generations in very good original condition. Original sides and ends intact, good even pile throughout. Professionally washed in our workshop. A very decorative small rug which would work well in many settings.

Sarouk rugs originate from the village of Sarouk and surrounding areas in central Persia, renowned for dense wool foundations, durable structures, and intricate floral motifs.

Authentic pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on cotton warps and wefts, dyed with natural vegetable and insect-derived colourants.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular knot density on the reverse, natural variations in the dyed wool, handmade selvedges, and characteristic wear patterns appropriate for the age.

An antique rug provides textural contrast and warmth in modern spaces, working effectively as a focal point over wooden floorboards or layered atop a neutral sisal base.

Preservation requires gentle, suction-only vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists, and positioning away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.
