The Story
About this Sarouk Rug
This antique Persian Sarouk rug, measuring 3'4" x 5', features a richly layered medallion field set against a deep brick red ground, bordered by floral sprays in inky midnight blue. Woven with a dense knot count of approximately 190 KPSI, its refined weave highlights the meticulous floral arrangements and mirrored symmetry often associated with early 20th-century Sarouk craftsmanship. The elegant central floral motifs bloom outward, balanced by delicate vine work and a strong, contrasting border that gives the piece a classic architectural frame. A graceful example of Sarouk work from the 1920s, this rug offers both beauty and longevity in a size perfect for entryways, reading nooks, or beside a bed.
About Sarouk Rugs
Sarouk rugs are among the most celebrated Persian rugs, renowned for their formal floral designs and exceptional durability. Produced in central Iran, these rugs gained prominence in the early 20th century, especially among American collectors. Unlike tribal weavings, Sarouks are city-made and woven with a dense wool pile that holds up well to foot traffic. The designs typically feature elegant floral sprays, central medallions, and curved vine motifs, often dyed in saturated reds, blues, and ivory tones. Their classic style and fine craftsmanship make them a perennial favorite among interior designers and collectors alike.
