Story Behind the Art: In the world of Persian rugs, the Sarouk name denotes excellence rooted in Arak and the Farahan plains of central Iran. 19th-century Sarouk weavers crafted intricate allover patterns such as Herati and Gul Hennai with up to 100 asymmetric knots per square inch. Inspired by Tabriz artistry, late 1800s weavers introduced medallion-centered layouts that soon evolved into a freer “floral spray” design after World War I—a hallmark of the Sarouk style known today. These luxurious Persian medallion rugs became favorites among Western collectors for their balance and durability. Modern artisans in Iran, India, and Pakistan continue the tradition, preserving its heritage through finely hand-knotted Sarouk-inspired creations.
