Sarouk Peach-bloom / Pink Runner
2'8" x 7'2"
Medium low dense silky wool pile on cotton foundation. Hand-knotted Sarouk runner, the salmon field with an allover design of detached floral sprays, palmettes and leafy stems in navy, ivory, rose and olive, drawn without a central medallion. Ivory-ground main border of flowerheads on a serpentine vine, between navy guard stripes. Natural abrash in the field, with fringe at both ends. Persian, ca. 1970's
The perceived colors of a carpet depend on monitor calibration, the diffraction of light from the carpet pile, and human color perception.
Condition: Very Good. Pile even, with light reduction to the field and some mellowing of the salmon ground compared with the brighter reverse; natural abrash present. No holes, moth damage or repairs observed; back even and sound with no patches. Selvedges intact with light wear. Fringes present at both ends but shortened and uneven, with scattered loss at one end. Runner lies somewhat unevenly with a slight wave along one side; light overall soiling.
