Sarouk rugs are made in and around this village in both village and workshop settings. In general these well-known rugs are of very high quality. They are woven with good quality wool on cotton foundation with the asymmetrical knot. Sarouk rugs can be geometric or curvilinear in pattern.Sarouk rugs come in the two types of traditional and American. The traditional designs consist of herati, boteh, or gul hannai motifs in either an all-over or medallion layout. The medallion layout could have a hexagon, oval, diamond, round or angular floral-shape medallion. The most interesting traditional design is a medallion-and-corner layout which consists of geometric yet very naturalistic floral motifs. After World War I, the American Sarouk design of disconnected floral sprays which seem to be branching out from a floral medallion or medallion-like center became very popular. Sometimes these rugs have an open field similar to modern Kermans. Sarouk weavers also weave beautiful prayer/vase combination rugs, which tend to be as curvilinear as the American Saoruks...........ANTIQUE DETAILED ANIMAL & BIRD SUBJECTS FINE PERSIAN SAROUK RUG Circa 1930s ..size is a unique 2' 2"x3' 7" ...........Wonderful read more
