Story Behind the Art: “Sarouk” refers broadly to rugs made in and around Arak in central Iran, including the Farahan plain—an area long admired for disciplined structure and elegant palettes. Nineteenth-century examples typically showcase dense allover layouts—Herati, Gul Hennai, or rosette repeats—tied with asymmetrical knots on sturdy cotton foundations, often around 100 KPSI. Inspired by Tabriz grandeur, late-1800s workshops embraced formal medallions and crisp axial symmetry, only to pivot again after World War I toward open fields scattered with detached floral sprays. That airy composition became the signature Sarouk look and influenced weaving centers well beyond Iran; today, Sarouk-style pieces appear from India to Romania and Pakistan, carrying forward a language of balanced botanicals and enduring elegance.
