Originally woven throughout Arak and the surrounding Farahan region, Sarouk rugs evolved from dense all-over Herati patterns into sophisticated floral medallion compositions inspired by the grandeur of classical Persian workshop carpets. By the early twentieth century, Sarouk artisans pioneered spacious open-field designs filled with detached floral bouquets and flowing botanical sprays that became especially popular throughout Europe and North America. Hand knotted using luxurious wool and rich vegetable dyes, these rugs are admired for their velvety pile, exceptional durability, and warm luminous coloration that ages beautifully over time. Combining decorative refinement with timeless Persian elegance, Sarouk rugs continue to be among the most sought-after handmade Oriental carpets in the world.
