Farahan/Sarouk The Farahan area belongs truly neither to Western nor to Central Persia. Some carpet specialists label the area between Qum, Kashan and Sultanabad, as the Arak region (Arak is the new name for Sultanabad), others as the Mahallat. Nevertheless, whatever the names employed, these weaving centers have only one thing in common, and they are generally design and type of wool. This can be illustrated by considering two specific representatives of their groups: Farahan and Saruq rugs, both of which stem from this triangle, belong to the highest quality of Persian carpets, yet possess very different features. The Farahan carpet is very finely woven from hard wool, is clipped very flat, and its restrained style of decoration is almost Gothic in character. The Saruq, on the other hand, is fine, is made from very much softer wools and is more densely woven. Projecting an exuberant lust for life, its style is almost baroque', especially those pieces woven for America. By promoting the Farahan region in the early 18 th century, Nadir Shah exerted an influence on its weaving products and on the export of these carpets which were prized even at this very early date.
