(High-Decorative) This engaging antique Persian Ferahan Sarouk rug captures many of the design elements that define elegance. It exhibits an unusual color palette for this rug type, with a deep claret red field punctuated with indigo, gold, and celadon shades in the crisp botanical details. The intricate cruciform central medallion ranges from the deepest dark brown to medium shades of walnut through variegated color striations known as abrash. Its design is unusually fluid, with many reinventions of its patterns, especially in its memorable main border. As well as being artful, this is an extremely practical antique rug with heavy pile, ensuring its continued existence into the next generation.
