The term Sarouk refers broadly to rugs woven throughout the Arak region and surrounding villages of central Iran, an area long celebrated for exceptional weaving traditions. During the nineteenth century, Sarouk rugs commonly featured intricate all over Herati and Gul Hennai patterns woven with fine asymmetrical knots on strong cotton foundations. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, local weavers began adopting more formal medallion based compositions influenced by the grandeur of Tabriz carpets. Following World War I, Sarouk artisans pioneered a more open decorative style featuring detached floral sprays floating elegantly across richly colored fields. This softer, spacious composition became the defining hallmark of the Sarouk tradition and gained enormous popularity throughout Western markets. Today, Sarouk inspired rugs continue to be woven in multiple countries while preserving the timeless Persian artistry, floral elegance, and decorative sophistication that made the tradition famous worldwide.
