About Sarouk Rugs

Sarouk rugs are among the most celebrated Persian workshop carpets, known for their refined weave and floral elegance. Produced primarily in central Iran, Sarouk rugs from the early 20th century often feature curvilinear motifs with central medallions or allover floral sprays, rendered in rich jewel tones. These rugs were especially popular in the American market during the 1920s and 1930s, which led to the development of a distinct “American Sarouk” style characterized by a red field and blue floral decoration. Renowned for their durability and dignified beauty, Sarouk rugs continue to be a favorite among collectors and decorators alike.
