Sarouk rugs originate from the village of Sarouk and the broader Arak region of central Persia, one of the great workshop weaving districts that produced some of the finest Persian carpets of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Classic Sarouk designs feature detached floral sprays arranged across an open field, typically on a deep rose, burgundy, or navy ground, with a formal floral border. The designs have an unusual combination of formality and freshness that has made Sarouk rugs consistently popular with interior designers and collectors alike.
The rugs in this collection are hand-knotted in Afghanistan and Pakistan by workshop weavers working in the Sarouk tradition. They are produced on cotton foundations with fine wool pile and natural or vegetable-based dyes that produce the soft, rich colors characteristic of the style. Construction quality ranges from quality everyday pieces through fine collector-grade examples with higher knot densities and more elaborate floral detail.
Sarouk rugs work particularly well in formal living rooms, master bedrooms, and dining rooms where an elegant, classically styled rug is wanted.
Every Sarouk rug in this collection is hand-knotted, one of a kind, and ships free worldwide. For related styles, see our Kashan rugs for formal Persian floral medallion compositions, and our Mahal rugs for a more open, relaxed version of the same classic Persian workshop tradition.
