Persian Sarouk 10x20

Hailing from a village of the same name 25 miles north of Arak (Sultanabad), the Sarouk may just be responsible for the resurgence of a modern age of Persian rug weaving. This region was one of the most productive for rug weaving featuring the coveted designs of Farahan, the most famous Sarouk designer. These rugs are often referred to as Farahan rugs as a tribute to the famous designer. To compete with the popularity of rugs crafted in Kashan, Farhan created a center medallion motif. Today, most of the antique Sarouks fabricated during the late 19th century are often referred to as Farahan Sarouks.

Hand-knotted Persian Sarouks are often considered the most luxurious, high-quality rugs from Arak. These rugs often feature deep color palettes, but this contemporary version explores a muted palette with a faded vintage appearance. This Sarouk rug faithfully explores the floral and medallion motifs combined with an ornate floral border and a blush coloured background, all created from natural dyes.
