Fereghan Sarouk rug

With a richly saturated central medallion floating against a clean ivory field, this fine Persian Sarouk exudes elegance. The jewel-like structures of the medallion are individuated and quite distinct from the typical drawing of Persian medallions with paisley forms and radiating palmettes making up its contours. Complementing this expert balancing of light and dark is the use of a vibrant madder-red as an intermediary hue within the inner sections of the medallion and the border. Perfectly spaced and with perfect scale an array of colorful flowers and blossoms meander across the border. Simple narrow guards allow for stark contrast between open and active areas. The effect is masterful.
