ABOUT THIS PIECE
Handwoven in the Sarouk Village nestled in the northern Arak province of Central Persia, Sarouk carpets are celebrated for their exceptional durability and the use of high-quality natural materials.
The livelihoods of the Sarouk people primarily revolve around livestock rearing and agriculture, ensuring that the raw materials and dyes used in the region’s carpets remain entirely natural. Moreover, the esteemed weavers of Sarouk employ a distinctive wefting technique, reinforcing the carpet’s structure by incorporating two weft threads after each row of weaving, with occasional additional weft threads inserted at intervals of 5 to 10 rows of knots.
In terms of design, the Sarouk region boasts a rich heritage of producing a diverse array of designs characterized by a unique interplay of colours. Notably, hues such as pastel red (Ghermez-e Doughi) and dark azure have garnered worldwide acclaim for their timeless appeal.
Sarouk Carpets have long enjoyed widespread popularity, particularly in the Western market, with the United States being a notable admirer of their exquisite craftsmanship and enduring beauty.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
295 × 123 CM (9'8" × 4'), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
Long enough for a 3-seater sofa but not deep enough to reach under its front legs as well as hold the coffee table, so it sits just in front with the table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island.
Only 22 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 56 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
