This Sarouk rug originates from Persia and features a traditional Sarouk design. The background is amber, providing a warm and inviting tone, while the navy border offers a striking contrast. The main color of the rug is yellow, adding vibrancy to the overall appearance. Made from high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, it dates back to around 1930.
Sarouk rugs are recognized for their classic curvilinear vine scrolls and elaborate arabesques, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of Persian carpet-weaving. The patterns typically include both medallion-and-corner layouts and all-over designs. Notable examples showcase beautiful arrangements of bouquets and foliage, indicating the richness of local design traditions.
Initially, Sarouk carpets exhibited specific colors for the weft threads, but later variations featured a wide array of distinct colors, contributing to their striking, classic appearance. Production periods around 1900 saw a notable trend toward allover floral and vine arrangements, giving these carpets their unique aesthetic.
These carpets are known for their thick, luxurious pile, which enhances durability and imparts a soft, velvety texture—attributes that make them highly desirable. The early examples often have ties to other regional styles, reflecting similar weaving techniques and design elements.
The craftsmanship of Sarouk carpets is a vital aspect of Persian culture, representing a skilled trade handed down through generations. This cultural significance is evident in the high quality and intricate designs that these rugs continue to exhibit. While the early 1900s witnessed a shift towards brighter colors, contemporary preferences have reverted to traditional aesthetics, maintaining the timeless opulence that Sarouk rugs are known for.
The intricate and elegant design of this particular rug includes a dense floral pattern with an abundance of leaves, vines, and flower motifs. Symmetrical arrangements repeat consistently across the rug, contributing to its balanced visual appeal. Multiple borders frame the rug, each adding layers of complexity with detailed floral designs. The innermost border features a simple interlacing vine pattern, while the middle and outer borders showcase increasingly ornate floral and vine motifs in darker shades.
The highly symmetrical design and the rich, visually engaging surface with minimal negative space reflect the meticulous craftsmanship and aesthetic standards typical of traditional Persian rugs. Each section of the rug is filled with detailed motifs, creating a cohesive and harmonious visual presentation.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
