Cuzinbruce, Thanks for the helpful link and your comments. I did purchase the carpet and may be able to take a picture of it outside tomorrow as a lot of the snow is beginning to recede. Thanks for that great link!!-- Its very informative and very similar to RugRag's home page that describes the evolution and transition of the early Persian Sarouks to the early 20th century advent of the Americab Sarouk. The rug I purchased has a rosy red ground shade which is derived form the madder root, called ronas (Farsi). From my research, the larger rugs were made with the rosy red color and the smaller, dozar sizes were often made with the blue... bur not always. I am still doing some research.
Nmiesen, Thanks for your feedback. This rug is not painted and has a rosy red background, not maroon dyed which appears to be from Madder Red. The KPSI is @ 120 KPSI using a ruler. The design of willow tree floral sprays with the rosy red background is often used for the larger Sarouks and the Blue for the smaller ones. I am still seeking more information as to whether this is a Mohajaran from the 1920's or earlier.
