Sarouk rugs are loved for fine, floral drawing, and this hand-knotted wool and silk Sarouk rug sets glowing rust and gold against midnight navy. The rug features an all-over lattice of tiny flowers and vines in the center, with a red inner band and a wide cream-gold border around it. The fine weave shows every leaf and bud, and the silk gives the smooth pile a soft sheen. This traditional Sarouk rug has a Persian-style layout and deep, detailed color.

Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations. 

Construction: Hand-knotted from a blend of wool and silk, chosen for the durability of the wool paired with the soft luster of silk.

Story Behind the Art: Within the rug trade, the term Sarouk encompasses pieces woven in Arak, its surrounding villages, and the plains of Farahan in central Iran an area long celebrated for its weaving excellence. In the 19th century, Sarouk rugs often displayed intricate allover designs such as the Herati and Gul Hennai, rendered with around 100 asymmetric knots per square inch on sturdy cotton foundations. By the late 1800s, inspired by the grandeur of Tabriz carpets, local weavers embraced a more formal aesthetic, producing factory-made rugs with central floral medallions and precise symmetry. This medallion style prevailed until the years following World War I, when Sarouk artisans pioneered a more open composition: graceful, detached floral sprays scattered elegantly across the field. This innovation became the defining hallmark of the Sarouk tradition, captivating global markets and collectors alike. Today, the influence of this design endures, with Sarouk-inspired rugs woven not only in Iran but also in India, Romania, and Pakistan each echoing the enduring beauty and legacy of Persian artistry.
