Sarouk (also spelled Saruq) is a village located in the province of Markazi in central Iran. Sarouk rugs are made in and around this village in both village and workshop settings. In general these well-known rugs are of very high quality. They are woven with good quality wool on cotton foundation with the asymmetrical knot. Sarouk rugs had been famous for floral designs with the central medallion. They were the most popular until this was replaced with the pattern of detached floral sprays on burgundy or dark pink backgrounds in the early 20th century. Sarouk rugs can be geometric or curvilinear in pattern.

This 6 x 4 ft Sarouk was handmade in Pakistan and uses the Persian Sarouk design. It would have taken more than six months to make, and, as you can see from the photos, (although they don't do it justice), is of the finest quality and density of knots per inch. The colours are exceptional. An amazing present for Christmas!.
