4' 4" x 6' 6" Late 19th Century Price: $12,500
(High-Decorative)
This classically patterned Ferahan Sarouk exemplifies remarkable individuality and inimitable, nuanced artistry of this genre. Its majestic cinnabar-hued medallion offers a lotus at its center, and is appropriately oversized in relation to the rug’s dimensions, grounding yet not overly dominating the composition. Elegance is absolute in this piece, with beautifully chiseled flowers and vinery lyrically enveloping the inky midnight reserve. They link the shimmering electrum-toned spandrels that hold Tiffany stained glass-like floral offerings absolutely glowing through rich textures provided by a gorgeously sophisticated palette of appealing hues. Each precious and masterfully wrought color sets alight each of the interplaying motifs. Significantly enhanced by a gentle, time-softened patina this evocative artwork is eager to grace that special space in your home.
