FAQs

Sarouk carpets originate from the village of Saruk and the surrounding Arak weaving region in markazi province, Persia. Produced predominantly from the late nineteenth century onwards, these rugs gained widespread international acclaim for their dense knotting, high-grade wool, and distinctive floral field arrangements.

Authentic Sarouk carpets are hand-knotted using high-quality wool pile spun onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. The yarns were historically dyed using natural plant-based and mineral dyes to achieve rich terracotta reds, indigos, and soft greens.

Authentic pieces exhibit a heavy, compact wool pile tied with asymmetrical Persian knots on a cotton ground. Key design characteristics include detached floral sprays, central medallion motifs, deep blue floral borders, and a characteristic warm red or rose-toned background field.

A Sarouk rug serves as a grounding element on hardwood or stone floors in contemporary and classic spaces. The rich colour palette and detailed floral motifs complement neutral upholstery, dark timber furniture, and layered modern textiles.

Suction-only vacuuming without a rotating beater bar prevents fibre degradation. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean cloth, and the rug should be rotated annually to equalise foot traffic and light exposure. Professional dry hand-cleaning is advised for periodic maintenance.
