Story Behind the Art: Sarouk is a trade name for rugs woven in Arak, its neighboring villages, and the plains of Farahan in central Iran, an area with a long reputation for fine weaving. In the 19th century, Sarouk rugs often featured detailed allover patterns like the Herati and Gul Hennai, with about 100 asymmetric knots per square inch over strong cotton foundations. Toward the end of the 1800s, weavers looked to the grand carpets of Tabriz for inspiration and shifted to a more formal style, making factory-produced rugs with central floral medallions and exact symmetry. After World War I, Sarouk artisans broke from the medallion format with an open composition of graceful, separate floral sprays across the field, and that design became the hallmark of Sarouk rugs and a hit with collectors worldwide. Today, Sarouk-inspired rugs are woven in Iran as well as India, Romania, and Pakistan, each reflecting the lasting appeal of Persian design.
