Antique Red Persian Saruk Oversize

Description

This splendid Persian Saruk rug boasts a rich heritage, characterized by masterful craftsmanship and a detailed, medallion centric design steeped in tradition. The intricate patterns, woven in a striking juxtaposition of deep reds and contrasting blues, display an elegance that complements both classic and contemporary decor seamlessly. Artisans have skillfully hand-knotted its luxurious wool to create a piece that adds not only visual depth but also a sumptuous texture to any interior. This Saruk work of art measures 10'-1" x 17'-1" and is a testament to the enduring beauty of Persian rug making.

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.
