An antique Persian Fereghan Sarouk rug. This most unusual Arak province finely woven small scatter displays a red field with four flowery vases and two additional octogramme-rosettes, set above a long line of calligraphy in an ivory cartouche, and below three rows each of two ivory cartouches with poetic inscriptions. Navy cartouches with floral arabesques are horizontally set between the inscription panels above.
