Mahajeran Sarouk carpet

Sarouk carpets from central Persia have been a favorite with American designers for nearly a century. Most Sarouk carpets hail from the 1920’s and 30’s and reflect a nascent Persian appreciation for international Art Deco style. This elegant Mahajeran Sarouk is arguably a generation earlier. With large scale drawing and ample spacing in the field, a small central medallion is surrounded by flowering vegetal scroll and garlands in a formal but pleasing composition.
