LARGE SEMI ANTIQUE SAROUK RUG 1920s

A Large Semi-Antique c. 1920 Room Sized approximately 12 ft x 9 ft. Hand Knotted Traditional Sarouk Rug. A Sarouk Rug is a type of Persian Rug 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 success of the Sarouk rug is largely because if the American market. From the 1910s to 1950s, the American Sarouk also known as the Painted Sarouk was produced in Iran. American customers had an affinity for the Sarouk's curvilinear and floral designs. 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 salmon or tomato-red color mixed with ivory and blues, and a very traditional, floral style.
