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).
