Virtuoso craftsmanship, imaginative artistry and a sumptuous palette of jewel-like colors contribute to the great impact of this entrancing 11-1/2 x 20-1/2 Ferahan Sarouk carpet. A refined, lobed teardrop medallion takes center stage with a rich display of undulating, blossoming boughs, swirling vines, and curling leaves playing a supporting role. One-of-a-kind compound pendants extend vertically, featuring a wealth of glowing radiant blues, along with variegated shades of celadon, apricot, bronze, and golden wheat, potent hues also found throughout the composition. Each spandrel is filled with artful flowerheads and palmettes, exhibiting a profusion of rarely seen apple green. The pristine main border displays an innovative meandering vine motif with a pronounced ivory vine boldly contrasting with the cobalt blue ground. Remarkably, this extremely finely crafted 130 -year-old oversize carpet is in remarkable heavy-pile condition
