Sarouk rugs are those woven in the village of Saruk and also the city of Arak, Iran and the surrounding countryside. Sarouk rugs have been produced for much of the last century. The early successes of the Sarouk rug are largely owed to the American market. From the 1910s to 1950s, the “American Sarouk” also known as the “Painted Sarouk” was produced. American customers have an affinity for the Sarouk’s curvilinear and floral designs.

Sarouk rugs continue to be produced today, using the same methods as during early production. Known for their exceptional quality and ability to withstand decades of wear, Sarouks continue to be a best seller of the Persian rugs. They are made with a high quality, tough wool using a Persian knot. A tell tale sign of a Sarouk is usually its blue weft threads, salmon or tomato-red color mixed with ivory and blues, and a very traditional, floral style. We have a fantastic selection of Sarouk's, so come in to Rug Ideas today so we can show you just how great they are!

American Sarouk Rugs Los Angeles

Hand knotted Persian Sarouk rugs (also spelled Sarough, or Sarouq) were popular in the U.S. in the early 20th century. Many Westerners and Americans went to the city of Arak, then called Sultan Abad and produced Sarouk rugs for the American market. The export of this type of rug with a kind of overall floral design and thick pile increased in volume between the two world wars. During the years 1920 to 1940, thousands of these rugs called the "American Sarouk" produced in Sarouk, a small town in the province of Arak were imported and poured to the U.S. Some manufacturers produced machine made American Sarouk rugs as well those days to respond to the huge demand especially for those customers who could not afford buying a hand made American Sarouk.

Once in a while, we receive one of these machine made old American Sarouks for cleaning and repair. Here, I am posting a few pictures from one of these area rugs which we cleaned and repaired.
