VINTAGE PERSIAN SAROUK HAND KNOTTED RUG – 2.1 x 3.2 (64cm x 97cm)
Vintage Persian Sarouk rug was hand knotted in Iran of 100% natural wool and has a cotton foundation. The rug is 60+ years old, has medium to low wool piles and is in excellent condition for its age. Beautiful colors with excellent quality. This rug is showing signs of abrash (fading) due to the use of antiquated vegetable dyes. No holes or repairs, plush and soft. This rug was acquired from a Virginia estate but it has the original tag from Iran on the back. Clean and ready to be enjoyed. Current embargoes against Iranian goods by the U.S. should cause the value of these rugs to increase.
