Antique Red Persian Saruk Square

Description

Embodying centuries of Persian craftsmanship, this Saruk rug boasts a rich, deep red centerpiece encased in intricately detailed borders, evoking the luxury of a bygone era. The hand-knotted wool pile showcases an opulent play of navy, cream, and hints of golden hues, providing both visual depth and a sumptuous feel underfoot. Seamlessly blending with both traditional and contemporary interiors, this piece is a testament to timeless design and artisanal mastery. At a sizeable 12'2" x 12'7", it makes an elegantly understated yet notable statement in any space.

Saruk rugs were produced in Saruk, Arak, and the surrounding countryside in the Markazi Province of Iran. For much of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, rugs exported from Iran to the USA were dyed to a desirable, deep, raspberry red color, since Americans had an affinity for the curvilinear and floral designs, but not the color. Saruk rugs continue to be produced today, using the same methods as during early production, with the exception of the post-production dye job.
