This is a beautiful Midnight Blue, Red, Green Colour Sarouk design Hand-Knotted, Oriental 100% Wool Rug. Storey Behind the Art Rugs with certain designs woven in Arak, surrounding villages, and the plains of Farahan are designated as Sarouks within the rug trade. Nineteenth-century rugs of this area often employed an all-over design of the Herati or Gul Hennai patterns. These were woven with about 100 asymmetric knots per square inch on a cotton foundation. In the late nineteenth century, factory rugs were woven in imitation of Tabriz models, using floral medallions. The medallion design was dominant until after the First World War when Sarouk rugs were woven with detached floral sprays. This design was extraordinarily popular. Currently, Sarouk designs of detached floral sprays are used in rugs woven in India, Romania, and China. Made by skilled craftsmen, the rug is a beautiful symphony of bold motifs, stunning colours, and consummate artisanship. This rug represents an illustrious legacy of exquisite artistry and the intricate craftsmanship is primed to add visual glamour and class to its surroundings. Its soft texture and timeless design make it ideal to enhance any space where it is placed.
