About Sarouk Rugs
Sarouk rugs are known for their dense, durable weave and refined floral designs, often centered around a medallion or arranged in intricate allover patterns. Produced in central Persia, particularly around Arak, these rugs became especially popular in Western markets during the early 20th century. Unlike village rugs, Sarouks were often woven to meet urban tastes, with higher knot densities and elegant compositions. Antique Sarouk rugs from the 1920s are especially prized for their quality wool and enduring beauty.
