Antique Sarouk Room Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Persian Sarouk exemplifies the finest weaving traditions of the Arak region during the early 20th century. The dense wool pile and robust construction speak to its enduring quality, while the deeply saturated field is rendered in a magnificent coral hue, a desirable variation of the classic Sarouk palette.

Woven to a generous proportion, this piece serves as a true room size rug, perfectly anchoring a formal living area or grand dining space. The scale allows the intricate design work to unfold completely, providing a panoramic view of the master weaver’s artistry, framed by a multi-layered border system featuring repeating palmettes and stylized foliage.

The composition features a highly detailed, continuous allover pattern of scrolling vines, palmettes, and stylized floral sprays. This dense arrangement avoids a central medallion, instead allowing the rich design elements to flow seamlessly from border to border, creating visual depth and complexity characteristic of the finest Sarouk production.

As a well-preserved example from the 1920s, this Sarouk possesses the patina and character only achieved through nearly a century of careful existence. It stands as a significant piece among antique rugs, offering both historical value and timeless decorative appeal for the discerning collector seeking depth of color and superior craftsmanship.
