And they say the border stripe is is beige! No way.....should be soft but discernible gold; do not tell me any antique sarouk had beige border stripe, I thnik this rug has been treated in some way. And look at the price!! http://rover.ebay.com/ro...9&mtid=824&kw=lg Makes the glorious West Hollywood Saruk look like the bargain of the century at 20K. Either shoot me.....or shoot the vipers. Sumthin needs shooting.

Sumthin needs shooting. lol, I kinda like it, although I wouldn't call this a sarouk from the photographs but I would have to see the pile. Weave, design and colors seems more like a unique 1920's kerman. It's unusual to see a cloudband in a Sarouk. I think the contrast may have been bumped on the medallion pic.

Is a product of Global warming? What is a cloudband???? Is it a weapon of mass destruction???? Or something in the border? which could also be a WMD, who knows??? Bettcha this was custom made rug. Did they commission those in first part of 20th century from artisans in Persia? The NY importers? And are you saying re contrast bump, in person it might be even more tepid and embalmed than it appears in those images? ________________________________ Just looked again. I stand by my guardstripe comments. Not that I knew that term before seeing their description. I have seen two, I now get, fabulous Sarouks from the late 20s or 30s, not sure.. Not a spec of brown or beige in either. Not one mm. Not part of their personality. Not those wiht this ostensible color scheme. To me, the whole rug looks treated or suspiciusly consistently faded. That "beige" was once golden. Am I wrong? For a change?

The cloudband resembles a cloud with its undulating contours, which sometimes may be elongated, although not necessarily symmetrical The colors may not be as rich in person, looks like one image has particularly heavy saturation. It could be true representation, but it's a good rug to see in person Rug Rag online Oriental Rug appraiser

Cloudband is a patinated version of this depicition I kow what it really is. DID I NOT SAY VIPERS???? lol Very esoteric stuff this is. Yes, the embalmed rug has this. But for 22K that is the least you should expect, FAUNA... not just the usual FLORA,
