The rug features a commanding central medallion rendered in rich coral tones, balanced against a deep navy field that bursts with floral abundance. Stylized blossoms, palmettes, and scrolling tendrils radiate across the surface, evoking the gardens of classical Persian design.

The interplay of colors coral, navy, ivory, and touches of turquoise creates a lively yet harmonious composition, with intricate detailing that demonstrates both finesse and balance. The surrounding spandrels and corners echo the central motifs, seamlessly framing the design. A striking series of borders completes the composition, with the main border richly ornamented with continuous floral elements and accented by guard bands of geometric and vine scroll motifs.

This Sarouk rug embodies refinement, durability, and timeless Persian artistry, making it a distinguished piece for collectors and connoisseurs alike. See less
