About Persian Sarouk Rugs
Persian Sarouk rugs hail from the central Iranian province of Markazi, particularly around the town of Arak. Revered for their refined floral motifs and luxurious wool, Sarouk rugs were especially popular in Western markets during the early 20th century. These rugs are known for their ability to retain vibrant colors and for their firm, dense weave, often using a cotton foundation with wool pile. The traditional Sarouk palette centers on deep reds, blues, and ivories, arranged in curvilinear medallion or allover floral formats.
Unique Characteristics of this Sarouk Rug
What sets this Sarouk apart is its saturated red field and the remarkable clarity of its navy and ivory floral tracery. The weave is particularly fine for its size category, with an impressive 200 knots per square inch—an uncommon feature in smaller antique rugs. Its excellent preservation and classic palette make it a rare find for collectors or anyone looking to add a touch of antique Persian craftsmanship to their home.
