MAHAJIRAN SAROUK, West Central Persian
3' 4" x 4' 10" Circa 1920 Price: $4,800
(High-Decorative)
This creatively patterned mat is a standout in one of the most popular styles of the Persian rugs woven in the early 20th century and the descendant of the acclaimed Ferahan carpet tradition. It offers a lustrous coral ground hosting an original, alluring floral pattern that harbors a four-legged centerpiece amid the foliage. Four flowering shrubs in iridescent peacock blue flank this ornament above and below, while small to tiny blossoms add charm and scale to the elaborate design. The Mahajiran Sarouk style offers primarily room size carpets, while more seldom-found area rugs such as this are delightfully versatile around the home.
