This old Persian Sarouk rug originates from the 1920 period in a traditional Persian style, constructed from wool and cotton materials with a firm weave and heavy handle. The rectangular floor covering displays a terracotta red field set against a navy blue border, highlighted by yellow and ivory tones alongside floral sprays, a central star medallion, spandrels, and a multi-band border. Showing excellent condition with very slight wear and a good pile, the textile lies flat with hand-washed finishing touches ready for placement. The piece measures 202 cm high, 126 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Suitable for normal domestic use in a home today, the rug provides functional floor coverage ideal for living rooms, studies, or hallways within an English Country House interior. The heavy construction handles high-traffic areas while the soft palette integrates into traditional or transitional decorative schemes. Placement upon standard flooring anchors seating areas or walkways while adding warmth and pattern underfoot.

FAQs

Originating from the Arak region of Iran, Sarouk rugs are traditional hand-knotted Persian carpets known for dense wool pile, rich colour palettes, and elaborate central medallion or floral motifs.

These carpets are crafted using high-quality spun wool hand-knotted onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured using natural dyes to achieve deep red, navy, and ivory tones.

Authentic 1920s Sarouk rugs feature heavy knot density, hand-spun wool pile, subtle dye variations known as abrash, and detailed designs on the reverse that mirror the front pattern.

A traditional Sarouk rug anchors living rooms, hallways, or dining spaces by providing warmth and texture, creating balance when set against minimalist furniture or natural wood flooring.

Vacuum regularly without a suction-only setting or rotating beater bar, rotate annually to ensure uniform wear, clean spills immediately with a clean damp cloth, and arrange specialist rug cleaning every few years.
