The deep blue field with an allover design of polychrome 'Herati', within a tangerine border enclosing continuous turtle palmettes linked by angular vines issuing flower heads ending in curled hooked leaves, secondary pale blue borders enclosing continuous flower heads and diagonal hooked vines.
Note:
The reverse knotting detail confirms this to be of the origin as stated in the Guarantee Line. Persian Saruk and carpets derive their name from a relatively small town in Persia, located twenty miles north of Arak (formerly Sultanabad). Over a short span of history, this town has produced some of the most highly regarded Persian weavings of the late 19th to early 20th century as a major contributing centre of Persian urban weaving 'revival'. Both large scale carpets and smaller decorative rugs are made here, with designs often based on recognised and established 17th Century Safavid Persian urban designs. This decorative Saruk carpet displays a design which is frequently seen in Saruk weavings and is referred to as the 'herati' design. The 'herati' design is an all over repeat pattern formed by a number of individual floral elements combined together and then repeated. It is normally made up of a flower head framed by a rhombus linked to a set of four leaves, and then repeated to form an all over design. The origins of the 'herati' pattern date back to the late 16th and early 17th century, and is seen in Safavid Persian Court carpets of that time. The design can be seen in varying scales. The early versions tend to display bold open renditions of the pattern details, whereas this example is based on a popular style as seen in the 'revivalist' period of Persian woven art dating from the late 19th century, through to the present day. The 'herati' pattern has always been a popular pattern in decorative furnishing rugs and is created in varying guises throughout the Eastern rug making world. The colours are from a characteristic extensive regional colour palette, the tones of which indicate that this carpet was probably made around 1950 - 1960. The colours are from a traditional Sarough palette, the tones of these colours indicate that this rug was made around the date as suggested. Values in CAD: 3420 - 4100 Insurance value: 7500
Please Consider
Please Consider
Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. However, please keep in mind that their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which actually add character. Each rug is woven by hand, so it may not have a perfect rectangular shape.
Rest assured, we do our best to capture the rugs' true colors in daylight photography. However, they might appear slightly different in low-light environments. If you'd like, we're happy to provide photos taken in lower lighting or answer any questions. Your satisfaction is our top priority!

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Vacuuming:
Vacuuming regularly means you won’t have to get it professionally cleaned as often and it will definitely look nicer and last longer. For best results, vacuum front and back side of rug, from side to side, avoiding fringes.
Spills:
Avoid spills, but if they do occur, blot them immediately with a cloth, then spray water on the spot of the spill and blot again, and repeat as needed. Spray white vinegar on pet urine to help break down the enzymes that cause the bad odour.
Professional Rug Cleaning:
When needed, get your area rug cleaned. Otherwise, the dirt begins to grind, which is extremely damaging to the materials. The usual time to have your rug professionally cleaned is about 5 years, but you should trust your instincts. When your rugs appear to require cleaning, follow your instincts and have them washed. Hand knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall to wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose professional rug cleaner who specialises in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets.
Rug Pads:
Using a rug pad with your vintage rug will extend its life and provide extra traction and protection for your floors. More info
