This piece dates to around 1920 and is now over a century old, a genuine \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's piece\u003c\/strong\u003e from a recognised chapter of Persian rug history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is hand-knotted in heavily hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation.

For American interiors, importers favoured a dense floral drawing on a characteristic \u003cstrong\u003edeep rust-red ground\u003c\/strong\u003e — a palette so closely identified with the era that these pieces became known simply as “American Sarouks.” This rug belongs to that lineage: the disciplined Mohajeran bouquet repertoire over the deep red field that defined a generation of Western interior taste, and which collectors still seek out today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a \u003cstrong\u003edeep rust-red ground\u003c\/strong\u003e, the field carries a dense, disciplined all-over of \u003cstrong\u003eseparate floral bouquets\u003c\/strong\u003e — stylised blossom sprays, palmettes and curved leafy branches — scattered with the rhythmic regularity that distinguishes a true Mohajeran. The drawing is rendered chiefly in \u003cstrong\u003edeep navy and royal blue\u003c\/strong\u003e, with ivory, light blue, camel-gold and touches of green. The field is framed by a \u003cstrong\u003enavy main border\u003c\/strong\u003e of interlocking palmette-and-vine scrolls with ivory cartouches, flanked by several guard stripes. The deep red ground is the signature of the period — the iconic palette of pre-1940 Sarouk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e265 × 350 cm (9.3 m²)\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a full room-size piece.
