Without a central medallion, the composition allows scrolling vines, palmettes, flowering branches, and intricate botanical motifs in celadon, aqua, teal, brown, and chocolate to flow uninterrupted across the entire surface. The precision of the drawing reflects the technical excellence for which Tabriz rugs are renowned. An ivory border adorned with complementary floral motifs frames the field beautifully, while narrow teal guard stripes provide crisp definition. The peach ground displays the mellow warmth and depth that only vegetable dyes develop over time. Antique and in excellent condition with even low pile and no staining or damage, this Persian carpet has been professionally cleaned and restored for immediate use.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 9'7\"x13'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Coral, Ivory, Blush, Turquoise, Gold, Brown, Navy, Black, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Iran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Pre-Owned \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: Vintage in excellent condition. no low pile or stain or damage.

Nineteenth-century Sarouk rugs often featured intricate all-over motifs such as Herati and Gul Hennai patterns, woven with fine asymmetric knots on durable cotton foundations. As design preferences evolved, local weavers embraced more formal compositions inspired by Tabriz carpets, introducing elegant central medallions and balanced floral arrangements. In the years following World War I, Sarouk artisans developed the open-field floral style that would become their signature, featuring graceful bouquets and detached blossoms scattered across richly colored grounds. Celebrated for their lush botanical motifs, harmonious palettes, and lasting durability, Sarouk rugs continue to influence weaving traditions around the world and remain treasured examples of Persian artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loombloom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55272635203875,"sku":"LBR21197","price":7999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0847\/1635\/5875\/files\/A21197.jpg?v=1782205414","url":"https:\/\/loombloomrugs.com\/products\/coral-handknotted-wool-lbr21197","provider":"loomBloom Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
