About the Item
75921 Vintage Persian Khorassan Rug, 09'07 x 12'09. Like the opening of a garden gate into an ancient Persian paradise, this hand-knotted wool vintage Khorassan rug unveils a lyrical symphony of color, form, and symbolism. At the heart of the ivory field blossoms a grand 16-point central medallion—an emblem of balance and cosmic order—anchored by vase finials at either end. From each vessel, tree of life motifs unfurl, their branches ascending heavenward in poetic arcs, representing the eternal bridge from Earth to the divine. These elaborate pendant forms speak to the rug’s sacred geometry, offering not just structure, but spiritual resonance.
Surrounding the medallion, a painterly profusion of floral motifs fills the creamy expanse with living poetry. Blossoms burst forth like verses—lilies for purity, tulips for prosperity, hyacinths for regeneration, and sickle leaves that curve gently like calligraphic brushstrokes. These time-honored Persian symbols create a woven ode to life’s renewal and abundance, their placement not random, but composed with the elegance of a manuscript penned by a skilled poet of the loom.
From each corner of the Khorassan rug, majestic spandrels radiate like the four winds, echoing the central medallion’s grandeur. Within them bloom peonies, lotus blossoms, saz leaves, and tulips, flourishing in stylized harmony. Palmettes and rosettes add rhythmic punctuation to this visual verse, while cloudband scrolls trace the edges like drifting thoughts or passing clouds in a poetic reverie. The corner designs serve as mirror reflections of the medallion’s form—each a stanza in the larger poetic structure of this Persian masterpiece.
The entire composition is framed in a sumptuous border—crimson red like the blush of a Persian sunset—filled with entwining botanical forms, enclosing the scene with stately grace. Navy blue and orange floral meander guard borders flank this main border, adding further depth and richness to the enclosure. This Khorassan treasure trove is more than a floor covering; it is a woven epic, where symbolism and structure intertwine like verse and rhyme, capturing the soul of a culture where carpets were not only made to walk upon—but to dream within.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, ivory, navy blue, sky blue, orange, and green with other accent colors.

Antique Persian Sarouk Area Rug
Located in New York, NY
Sarouk is a name of a village situated about 25 miles north of Arak (Sultanabad). This region became one of the most active regions of carpet weaving in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. The city's most famous designer was named Farahan. To be able to compete with Kashan in rug commerce, Farahan designed rugs with center medallion motives. Today, these carpets are referred to as Antique 19th century Farahan Sarouks.
In the 1920s and 1930s a well-known rug dealer in New York thought that Americans would buy rose-field carpets with blue borders and detached floral motives. During that period, a vast number of Sarouks with rose-fields and all over floral patterns were woven and exported to the American market. However, the natural dyed rose color did not stand up to the alkaline bath to which new rugs in Arak were subjected in the finishing process. The rose color faded radically. But instead of changing the finishing process or changing the composition of the dyes to stand up to alkali, New York merchants "solved" the problem by arming their staffs with synthetic dyes and little paint brushes with which they painted back in the rose-color in the entire fields of thousands and thousands of rugs and carpets over a period of 20 years. Today, Antique Sarouk rugs and carpets...
