Antique Persian Sarough – Rare Deep Indigo Edition
"A rare blue-ground Sarough preserved in excellent antique condition."
This Antique Sarough (Sarouk) rug is a remarkable survivor from the golden era of Persian weaving, knotted between 1900 and 1930. While many Saroughs from this period were crafted in rust or red tones for the American market, this specific piece features a rare Deep Indigo Blue field. Blue-based antique Saroughs are significantly harder to find and highly coveted by connoisseurs for their sophisticated aesthetic and collectible character.
The design captures the elegant transition from the botanical, curvilinear motifs of Art Nouveau to the structured, balanced floral sprays that defined early Art Deco. Known for their exceptional knot density and the use of high-grade Persian highland wool, these rugs remain as durable today as they were a century ago.

Excellent experience with the seller, Karl. He responded to all my questions. In addition to the photos on the website, he sent even more photos and a video of the rug, which is exactly as it appeared. The purchase was simple. Shipping was via UPS and the rug arrived one week later.

We were unsure which rug to choose, and wanted a rug that was in almost new condition. Karl was very honest about the conditions of the rug, even details/"defects" that we cannto necessarily see on a computer screen, In the end, our Tibetan rug came early which was perfect timing for our new home, and in the good condition just as Karl described. We absolutely love our new rug. Thank you.
