3.3 x 4.10 Antique Fereghan Sarouk Rug, Central Persia, Circa 1895
This antique Persian Fereghan Sarouk rug demonstrates the subtle elegance that antique rugs can reflect when the balance of spacing in the design and the quality of color meet a certain level. The brick red field contains a navy blue medallion and is decorated with stylized leaves, flowers and Boteh (Paisley shaped motifs). Sky blue corner spandrels and a navy blue border frame the field.
