Persian Sarouk (Saruk) Carpets

Persian Knotted Carpets and rugs form an intrinsic part of Iranian culture. They have existed for a long time and have rather become synonymous with the good quality artistic carpets. The oldest knotted carpet existing dates back to 5th century BC, though the craft was at its peak during 1502 - 1736 AD in terms of artistic value and exports.

Persian carpets are known for their intricate elegant patterns in brilliant colors. The patterns can range from floral motifs to mehrabas and calligraphy to depiction of stories and flowers and vases and animal figures. They are hand knotted in wool or silk yarn on cotton or silk wraps and wefts. The pile is lush and lustrous that enhances the beauty of the pattern.

The patterns and the style depend on the weaving tribe or the village and so do the colors. Each area and each tribe has a distinct style and a unique texture. The quality is judged by the tightness of the weave, knots per square inch and pattern and color usage.
