Measuring approximately 9x12, this rug makes a refined anchor for formal living rooms, dining areas, or grand entryways.
About Sarouk Rugs
Sarouk rugs are celebrated for their dense, durable wool and graceful floral patterns. Woven in central Persia, particularly during the early 20th century, antique Sarouks often feature deep color palettes and curvilinear designs that became highly popular in the American market. Their distinctive structure—achieved through high-quality hand-knotting—makes them ideal for everyday use while still retaining their refined elegance. Many Sarouks from this period were dyed and finished to appeal to Western tastes, contributing to their long-standing desirability among collectors and decorators alike.
