Sarouk (also Saruk, Sarough or Sarogh) is one of the most famous Persian rug and carpet manufacturing areas of Persia.
What is a Sarouk rug?
Sarouk is a town in the region Arak in central Persia.Sarouk rugs are hand knotted in many styles. They have a fine knot structure and are of legendary quality. Main colors are red, brown, blue, green, ivory, beige.
Are Sarouk rugs durable?
They have a good to very good durability due to the high-quality wool.
Located in the Persian province of ARAK, it includes the carpet provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Meshkabad, Malay, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Sought after by collectors are the ancient and antique carpets of the Mahal and Malayer types, which were knotted between 1880 and 1930. As a special case of carpet weaving in Iran, the so-called "American Sarouk", which were knotted in the period from 1900 to 1940 especially for the American market. Reduced in the colors of rust, red, dark blue and some brown / beige tones, these floral-patterned carpets without a central medal have been increasingly exported from the USA to Europe since the 1970s and are referred to here as "re-imports".
Typical of this type of carpet is a very good wool quality from the Persian highlands. The warp and weft are usually made of cotton. With old and antique carpets one often finds a blue weft thread. The Persian knot is usually used for knotting. Knot density varies between 90,000 knots per square meter on coarse Mahal carpets and 640,000 knots per square meter on high-quality Sarough Ghiasabad rugs.
