An antique Persian Sarouk hand-loomed wool carpet, made in Iran, circa 1920s-30s Century
I don't have much details except that we just inherited it from my husband's great grandfather who purchased it in Los Angeles. To give you an idea, the rug was given to my mother-in-law who recently passed away at the age of 104. So the rug has been in the family for at least 100 years.

Hi Nasim,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Sarouk carpets originated in the Sultanabad region (modern-day Arak, Iran). When ones of comparable size are offered for sale by rug dealers and galleries, they often ask very high retail prices - sometimes as much as $5,000-7,000 - but when they are sold at auction, they bring only a fraction of that: usually less than $1,000.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
