Sarouk rugs originate from the village of Sarouk near Arak in Markazi Province, central-western Iran. Knotted with the asymmetrical (Persian) knot on a cotton foundation, they are beloved for their elaborate curvilinear florals and the unmistakable "classic Persian red", a deep, warm palette of reds, navy blues, and ivory that has made Sarouk one of the most recognised Persian rug names worldwide.
Sarouk pieces use lanolin-rich highland wool that creates an exceptionally thick, velvety pile. Dense floral sprays and Shah Abbasi palmettes fill the field with controlled elegance. Antique pieces often feature distinctive blue weft threads, a reliable identifier for experienced collectors.
More on Sarough rugs: origin, making and how to recognise a genuine piece
Measuring 303 × 219 cm, with an area of 6.64 m², crafted from Hand-spun Wool, Hand-knotted, this piece is a testament to masterful craftsmanship. The knot density of 201,000 – 250,000 / m² speaks to the extraordinary care woven into every inch.
Preserved in perfect condition, built for generations of use, sarouk rugs age beautifully and make enduring centrepieces for living and dining rooms.
Fine quality weave
At 303 × 219 cm (6.64 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 6.64 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.7 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
