Sarough Djosan Iran Rug 158 X 103 Cm

Iranian rug from the Arak region, kurk* wool, cotton warp and weft, circa 1950. Very good condition. Fine workmanship. Strong and durable rug.

Located southwest of Malayer, the Djosan are inspired by the creations of Sarough rugs. Thanks to the quality of the water in this region, the washing of the wool allows for excellent results (shine and colors). Sarough Djosan are held in high esteem for their quality wool, designs and colors. These rugs have different decorative motifs such as medallions but most often based on a floral theme.

A lot of work and mastery went into the making of this zaronim-sized rug. A central medallion, including 'boteh'** stands out against a plain navy blue background (kafzadé), surrounded by floral motifs. In the spandrels as well as in the borders we find a multitude of flowers and scrolls.

* Kurk wool: fine lamb's wool collected by combing. Strong and durable wool.

** Boteh: Ancient motif with different meanings. It can represent the transformation of Zoroaster into a cypress, symbol of eternity, but also into a drop of water, a palm tree, or a tree. The term boteh means "flowering bush" in Persian. There is a similarity with yin and yang.
