Early 20th C. Sarouk Rug with Tight Weave and Rich Jewel Tones
About the Item
Early 20th c., tightly knotted Sarouk rug, likely Farahan Sarouk, in rich jewel tone colors with a central medallion surrounded by birds and animals with flora and fauna.
Hand-knotted Persian Sarouk or Sarough rugs are very attractive and are considered one of the highest quality rugs originating from the well established Arak weaving district in central Iran.
Sarouk was renowned for its carpet weaving industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The most coveted of these rugs are made by a Farahan, a 19th century designer. He was so well known that even today these rugs are called Farahan Sarouk rugs.
Farahan started designing these rugs to compete with the popular Kashan rugs, by creating a new and unique design. In order to differentiate between the two, Farahan introduced medallion motifs in the center.
Farahan Sarouk rugs have a distinctive design featuring an elaborate central medallion surrounded by intricate and finely woven floral motifs. Some rugs featured birds, trees and other types of foliate in pictorial designs that give these rugs a stunning, eye-catching appearance.
Another key feature of Farahan Sarouk rugs is the close-cropped, tightly woven pile.
