Product description
The small village of Sarouk (Sarough/Sarogh) lies in the mountains of the Iranian interior, north of Arak (formerly Sultanabad). During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this village was one of the most active carpet-weaving centers, producing some of the finest, room-sized Persian carpets of the time. Western demand for carpets was strong, and the vast majority of Sarough carpets were exported, particularly to the United States after the decline of the European market due to World War I. Sarough carpets became a popular choice for their quality, durability, and style. They are knotted with a Persian knot, made from high-quality, tough wool, and have a very thick and dense pile. They are ideal for home use, as they can withstand decades of daily traffic and wear and tear without showing any signs of damage if properly cared for. The "American Sarough" was specifically designed for the American market. These rugs were originally woven with lighter, rust-colored backgrounds, which proved unsuccessful as the American market preferred deeper, richer colors. Consequently, the rugs had to be re-dyed upon arrival, giving them the name "Painted Sarouks." Sarogh rugs are available in a wide variety of designs. Beautiful rugs with central medallions and open-field designs featuring cream, indigo, and light red floral motifs are common.
