Antique Sarouk-Style Gallery Rug, Hand-Knotted Wool, Floral, 17ft x 38in

A long antique gallery rug — hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation in the classic Sarouk-style floral idiom. The field is a deep coral-red carrying a continuous all-over composition of stylized palmettes, leaves, and vinework in deep indigo, ivory, sage green, and warm gold. Wide navy main borders run the full length, finished with floral guard stripes and short fringe at each end.

The natural-dye wool has the soft tonal variation and gentle color shifts only a century of age produces — the quality collectors prize over the flat, even color of modern reproductions, which cost as much or more.

At roughly 17 feet long and just over three feet wide, this is a true gallery rug — longer and broader than a standard hall runner — the kind of architectural floor piece traditional decorators write into long corridors, galleries, and stair landings. It carries beautifully down a Georgian hallway, through an English-country mudroom, or along a contemporary loft passage where the red ground brings warmth into otherwise cool space.

Dimensions: 17' L × 9.75' W (203" × 117")
