✦ About the American Sarouk:
✦ About the American Sarouk:
In the early 20th century, a special variation emerged within the sarouk tradition: the so-called American Sarouk. These rugs were hand-knotted according to Persian tradition, but tailored to the tastes of American buyers:
a richly floral composition without a distracting central medallion, in a robust and refined design.
Characteristic is the deep indigo blue background, which allows the floral arrangement to illuminate like a garden at dusk.
These rugs remain highly sought after for their durability, aesthetics, and timeless elegance.
This is an example of a hybrid culture, both Persian and American. >>> ... 320 x 160 cm | Superb Condition
