Handcrafted Antique Carpet with Floral Design

Step into an era of artistry and refinement with this Hand-Knotted 1910s Persian Sarouk Rug, a masterpiece that embodies the grandeur and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Persian weaving. Crafted in the heart of Persia over a century ago, this exceptional rug radiates both visual richness and emotional warmth—its raspberry red field glows with life, framed by meandering vines and palmettes that seem to sway gently across the surface.

Each thread tells a story of time-honored skill passed through generations. The dense floral sprays, hand-knotted in wool dyed with natural pigments, create a living tapestry of texture and tone—deep navy blues, muted emerald greens, and soft saffron yellows mingle across the surface like light filtering through a garden at dusk. As your eyes follow the intricate vines, you can almost sense the rhythmic hum of the loom that once brought this piece to life more than a century ago.

This Hand-Knotted 1910s Persian Sarouk Rug embodies the height of traditional Persian design: symmetry without stiffness, color without excess, and detail without overwhelm. Every motif reflects the harmony of nature—roses, leaves, and tendrils woven in eternal bloom. Despite its age, the rug’s condition remains remarkably sound, with areas of gentle wear that enhance its character and authenticity. It has been professionally cleaned and restored, ready to infuse another generation of homes with its timeless beauty.

Perfect for an interior layered in Vintage Glamour, this Sarouk rug pairs beautifully with gilded mirrors, carved wood furniture, and soft lamplight. Whether placed beneath an antique writing desk or at the heart of a parlor, it lends an undeniable air of history and grace. Its rich raspberry and navy palette invites warmth and conversation—reminding one of velvet drapes, polished brass, and the quiet elegance of an old-world sitting room.

Beyond its visual poetry, this Hand-Knotted 1910s Persian Sarouk Rug is a tangible bridge to the past—a handcrafted heirloom woven for endurance and beauty. This antique rug is more than a floor covering; it is a narrative underfoot, a memory of artistry preserved in wool, waiting to be rediscovered in your home.
