Expert Notes


We have inspected all available photographs as provided by the seller, and our expert staff has determined this to be a true Persian Mohajeran Sarouk. Completely hand knotted, made in the first quarter of the twentieth century around 1915. The rug appears to be free of any major rewoven areas, post production alteration such as painting and/or chalking. It is somewhat unusual to find a rug in this size, age and genre still in existence. This is what would be considered a “pre-American Sarouk” rug, which means it was created prior to heavy commercialization of Sarouk Persian rugs. Fair overall condition, this is a very pretty, all-over floral design. Ends appear intact with exception to very minor guard border, heavy wear and exposed foundations, check with seller for additional information and refer to photographs.
