This majestic Royal Sarouk carpet, spanning an impressive 18 feet by 19 feet, is a pinnacle of traditional Persian weaving. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, it was acquired in 1978 for a sum of $7,000, reflective of its quality and artistry. The carpet is resplendent with intricate floral patterns and a central medallion design, typical of the Sarouk style, which is renowned for its dense weave, rich colors, and exceptional durability. Its generous dimensions make it an ideal statement piece for a grand room, where it can be fully appreciated. The rich reds and deep navies are set against a field of warm, earthy tones, creating a vibrant yet sophisticated color palette. The border is equally detailed, with complementary motifs that frame the central design beautifully. Provenance: Purchased in 1978, this carpet has been a cherished floor covering, displaying the opulence and elegance of Persian design. Estimate: $14,000 - $18,000
