Description

79006 Vintage Indian Sarouk Rug, 07'10 x 09'03.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Indian Sarouk rug is a masterful representation of Indian artistry, woven with exquisite attention to detail. The saturated navy blue field forms the backdrop for a beautifully intricate central medallion in rich red, embellished with rosettes and blooming palmettes. At either end of the medallion, elaborate weeping willow pendants gracefully extend, symbolizing immortality and the enduring nature of life. This delicate balance between bold and intricate design elements speaks to the refined craftsmanship and cultural significance of Indian rugs, making it a truly captivating piece.

The midnight field of the Indian Sarouk rug is adorned with a variety of Indian floral motifs, each rich in symbolic meaning. Trees of life, symbolizing immortality and spiritual growth, stretch across the field, intertwined with rosettes that represent innocence and purity. Lilies, embodying purity, and hyacinths, symbolizing regeneration, further enrich the design, creating a tapestry of meaning woven into every thread. Peonies, associated with power, and tulips, denoting prosperity, bloom alongside curved sickle leaves and delicate iris flowers, which represent religious liberty. Together, these elements form a harmonious composition that conveys both beauty and deeper cultural narratives.

From each corner of the rug, ornamental boteh motifs emerge, seamlessly blending into the midnight navy blue field. The boteh, often seen as a symbol of eternity or the seed of life, adds a layer of depth to the overall design, reinforcing themes of growth and continuity. The floral motifs, with their intricate details and curved forms, flow effortlessly into the design, creating a sense of unity and balance that draws the eye across the rug's surface.

The composition is elegantly enclosed with a rosette floral border, a delicate and decorative frame that enhances the richness of the central field. This main border is flanked by inner and outer floral boteh guard borders, adding an additional layer of protection and beauty. Subsidiary guard bands further define the edges, ensuring that every part of the rug, from the center to the outermost borders, is meticulously designed. This Indian Sarouk rug is more than a work of art; it is a piece imbued with centuries of tradition, symbolism, and elegance, destined to bring a sense of history and refinement to any space it graces.
