Schätzpreis/Estimate CHF 12'000.-
Wenige persische Teppichtypen erreichten eine so luxuriöse Flortextur
wie die besten Sarouks, die in den 1930ern vor allem für den
vermögenden amerikanischen Markt geknüpft wurden. Dieses prachtvolle
Exemplar zeigt die Betonung von Farbe und Textur sowie die
flächendeckende, reziproke Musterung, die die besten Sarouks
auszeichnet, auf ihrem Höhepunkt. Eine weich fließende Komposition aus
großzügig mit zarten Blättern und Blüten geschmückten Rankenstängeln
ist wie mit Bleistiftstrichen so zart auf das Feld gezeichnet, dass die
prachtvolle Glut des Flors aus glänzender, seidenweicher Merinowolle in
sattem Himbeerrot kaum unterbrochen wird. Die pastellblaue Hauptbordüre
und die begleitenden nachtblauen Begleitstreifen ergänzen das edle
Kolorit, während die Vielfalt kunstvoll gezeichneter Päonien- und
Lotuspalmettem mit zahllosen, charmant dazwischengesetzten kleineren
Blüten- und Blattformen in einer zauberhaften Palette von sanftem
Blassrot, Violettbeige, blassem Hellbraun, Lapislazuli, Schwarz,
intensivem Saphirblau, Blassgold, Rehbraun und Grün ausgeführt ist. Die
Bordüre erhält damit einen unvergesslichen, glanzvollen letzten
Schliff, der sie in klassischer orientalischer Pracht erstrahlen läßt.
Da raumgroße Sarouks von dieser Qualität aus den Jahren zwischen den
beiden Weltkriegen die Erwartungen des gehobenen modernen Geschmacks in
jeder Hinsicht erfüllen, gehören sie nach wie vor zu den gesuchtesten
Luxus-Perserteppichen, die in den letzten hundert Jahren gefertigt
wurden.
Few types of Persian carpet have attained so luxurious a pile texture
as the finest Sarouks created primarily for the rich American market
during the 1930s period. In this splendid example, the promotion of
colour and texture and the reciprocal diffusion of design that
characterises the best of these Sarouks is illustrated at its zenith. A
gently flowing scheme of scrolling stems, spaciously embellished with
delicate leaves and blossoms, is drawn with an understated pencil-soft
touch that barely ruffles the sumptuous glow of saturated raspberry red
which shimmers from the lustrous fibre of the velvety merino wool field
beneath. Added tonal refinement is provided by the powder blue main
border and its accompanying night-blue guard stripes, while an array of
ornate peony and lotus palmettes, exquisitely interspersed by
innumerable smaller floral and foliate forms, is picked out in an
enchanting palette of soft carnation, violet-beige, pale tan, lapis
blue, sable, intense sapphire, pale gold, fawn and green, to illuminate
the border with a memorably radiant final touch of classic Eastern
splendour. In fulfilling every expectation of the most discerning
decorative tastes of today, the room-sized Sarouks of this calibre from
the years between the two world wars remain one of the most
consistently favoured of any luxury-orientated Persian carpets to have
been made in the course of the last hundred years.

JBOC Notes: This is part of the
broader group of Arak Rugs. Up until the end of the 20th century this
type of rug is typical of the Sarouk production. They were attributed
to the village of Sarouk but were likely made in a number of villages
in the Province of Arak, Iran (old name Persia).
