Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, All Silk, Sarakhs, 96 × 133 cm Ref 10100179

This all-silk handwoven rug from Sarakhs measures 96 × 133 cm (3'2" × 4'4") with an area of 1.28 m² (13.78 ft²). Woven at approximately 11,500 knots/dm², it reflects a level of fineness that testifies to the weaver’s mastery. Its medallion-and-corner design, drawn from the classical Iranian aesthetic, blends intricate and orderly geometric motifs to express symmetry, balance, and symbolic richness. Motifs of animals, birds, and trees—echoing patterns from kilim weaving—animate the composition. The warmly resonant copper field, paired with deep madder-red borders, creates a majestic, dignified palette that pleases the eye and uplifts the spirit. The all-silk construction endows the rug with exceptional softness and sheen, heightening color clarity and the precision of lines. Every line of this artwork bears witness to countless hours of devoted craftsmanship.
