Fine Sarouk Carpet
Often referred to as 'American' Sarouks, this group of fine central Persian carpets were woven from around 1920 until the 1940s, and exported to the United States in large quantities. In the last quarter of the 20th century many of the finest examples which reappeared with American dealers and auctioneers were bought by Europeans and ended up in Germany, Austria and the UK. This lovely carpet is one of those 're-imports'. Finely knotted with soft fleecy wool, it has a lovely soft red colour and a restrained repeating floral design which is very easy on the eye. The secondary colours are also all subtle and pleasing. Ideal for all types of decorative settings. Professionally cleaned. Only minor signs of wear and a few minor repairs, otherwise excellent condition. This is a very desirable and decorative carpet.
