(High-Decorative)
Sensitively executed botanical tracery and lifelike expressions of infinitely detailed flowering forms make this refined Persian Ferahan Sarouk carpet woven at the turn-of-the-20th-century an extremely memorable addition to a signature interior space. At 11x14-1/2 ft, its dimensions are as expansive as its virtuoso cruciform medallion, which extends to virtually touch both top and bottom edges, inviting the eye explores its countless individual flower-filled compartments. Creative ivory and indigo cornerpieces and a beguiling suite of exquisite multi-scaled borders continue to provide sheltered spaces in which the most creative and painstakingly rendered floral motifs can flourish.
