Description
Sarouk rugs were produced in the Arak region of Iran, made with traditional allover designs or symmetrical floral patterns. This rug was made by village weavers on portable wooden looms in in the Sarouk region of Iran. Sarouk rugs are among the most popular with Persian rug enthusiasts due to their intricate detail, rich colors, durability and traditional workmanship.
Herat Oriental works with over 2,000 village weavers to create beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
