Impressive Sarouk Persian Rug 14.5' x 10.5'. The production of Sarouk rugs dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the town of Sarouk experienced a surge in rug weaving. The early 20th century saw a significant increase in demand for Sarouk rugs, particularly from the American market. This period is often referred to as the "American Sarouk" era, as the weavers adapted their designs and colour schemes to cater to American tastes. The popularity of Sarouk rugs has endured, and they continue to be highly sought after for their beauty and quality. Sarouk rugs are hand-knotted using high-quality wool, often obtained from local sheep. The foundation of the rug consists of cotton, providing a sturdy base for the intricate patterns. Sarouk rugs are known for their dense and plush pile, making them both comfortable and durable. The high knot density, often ranging from 120 to 475 knots per square inch, contributes to the intricate designs and long-lasting nature of these rugs. Size: 176 1/2 x 130 1/2 in. Location BLONDE COW
