Persian Mansion Size Mahajaran Sarouk Rug

Twenty-one feet. Measure twice, then measure the house.

This mansion size Mahajaran Sarouk rug is from Persia, present day Iran, made about 1920 with wool pile on cotton warp and weft. Sarouk rugs from the Arak region found an eager American market in the early 20th century. A coral red field carries sprays of flowers in navy, gold and cream, arranged in loose repeating clusters. A deep navy border of palmettes frames it, between narrow guard stripes. It measures 21 feet long by 11 feet 9 inches wide.

The furniture can stay. It will simply seem smaller.
