Hand knotted as an 8'1" x 10'4" Indo Sarouk rug, this traditional botanical piece is woven from premium New Zealand wool with a medium pile (approx. 0.50) and a durable cotton foundation. Crafted at a fine 200 KPSI (Knots Per Square Inch measure of knot density that indicates a rug's quality, detail, and durability. Higher the KPSI, the more intricate the rug), reflects the precision and clarity associated with Sarouk inspired weaving, offering both lasting durability and a refined, elegant surface. At the heart of the composition lies a gently organized field filled with finely drawn floral sprays, rosettes, and palmettes, arranged in a balanced, all over pattern rather than a dominant central medallion. This approach creates a sense of continuity, allowing the eye to travel smoothly across the surface without interruption. The turquoise blue field acts as a cool, expansive backdrop, evoking the idea of water and sky, symbols of serenity and renewal in Persian design. Against this ground, the floral motifs are rendered in ivory and beige, giving the design clarity and lightness. These blossoms are subtly enriched with blush and soft red highlights, which introduce warmth and visual rhythm, preventing the palette from feeling overly cool. Green leaves and curling vines interconnect the flowers, reinforcing the garden theme and symbolizing growth and harmony. Fine detailing in deep blue outlines the motifs, enhancing definition and showcasing the precision made possible by the rug’s high knot density. The surrounding Sarouk style border, set on a lighter ivory base, echoes the interior florals in a more structured, repeating sequence, creating a visual frame that anchors the composition.

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.
