FERAHAN SAROUK
West Central Persian Antique Rug

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This virtuoso area-size representative of the highly respected 19th-century Ferahan Sarouk style demonstrates an urbane, ornate presence comparable to its room-size counterparts. Its nested cruciform medallion rests on a deep midnight reserve with a network of flowering vinery emanating from a single lotus blossom at its center. Glowing tendrils spread in all directions, ending in crystalline buds and florets, echoing the look of stained glass. Its fine knotting and close, evenly cut pile, with the resulting clarity of line showcasing every sculpted detail, are a significant contribution to this piece's artistic impact. Its shimmering palette of gracious terracotta rose, leaf green, denim blue, and golden wheat tones shimmer on the deep midnight indigo, lending great visual depth and dimensionality. Chromatic shifts between deep and light tones are part of the character of rugs woven before the turn of the 20th century and intensify the stately charm of every motif.
