Formal Persian runners are rarely found. This elegant Mahajiran Sarouk runner fills this gap with its exuberant array of finely etched floral bouquets on a deep rust field, punctuated with a color palette of rose, indigo and bronze, coupled with its shimmering lamb’s wool surface. Its lanolin-rich wool shimmers and glows with reflected light, changing color as the viewer walks across this luxurious piece. Its finely drawn main border contains variegated shades of seldom seen celadon and forest greens. This over 90-year-old runner is in stunning heavy pile condition, lends it tremendous durability.
