Antique Sarouk rug

197 × 120 cm 6’5” x 3’11”
£3,950

Description

Classical antique Sarouk rug, using an intricate all over design of floral bunches, well drawn and with subtle pink to peach tones for the main field colour.    Deep royal blue dyes used for the border and hints of teal blues and golds too.  Sarouk’s were woven in the village of Saruk in the Arak region of Persia.  In good pile all over with an excellent soft handle and feel, it has been washed by our workshop and ready to be used.

Sarouk rugs have been produced for much of the 20th 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 had an affinity for the Sarouk’s curvilinear and floral designs. What they did not appreciate, however, was the colour, so for much of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, rugs exported from Persia were dyed to a desirable, deep, raspberry-red colour, once they arrive in the USA.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets and rugs in your own home, a free, no obligation service we have offered for over 30 years.  Roderic, Stephen and Kristian have been working with antique rugs since 1990 and would be delighted to help you find the perfect rug.

In the second half of the 19th century, a huge market was created for Persian carpets in Europe and in the US. Many merchants bought the old and antique Persian rugs from all over Persia and exported them to other countries. They used the city of Tabriz in northwest Persia to export these rugs to Europe via Erzurum in Turkey, which is also famous for beautiful antique kilims.
