Hand-knotted from New Zealand wool at a fine 150 KPSI, this Sarouk-style rug sets an allover floral and vine pattern in rust against a deep black border, with sage, turquoise, taupe, and gold woven throughout for a richly layered, jewel-toned palette. An antique finish and gold wash have been worked into the pile, softening the colors and giving the wool a warm, burnished glow that mimics the patina of a rug generations old. The dense, traditional Sarouk field pattern reads as formal and classic, ideal for a dining room or living room where a bolder, more saturated rug can anchor the space. *Note: This rug was photographed under studio lighting, which means the colors on screen may appear a little more vibrant than they do in person. We'd recommend watching the video below for a truer sense of the palette.

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.
