About the collection
A Sarouk rug is a type of woven, hand-knotted, flat weave carpet that is not thickly padded with wool or other animal fibers. It was primarily made in the Ottoman Empire and today is mainly produced in the region.
The world’s top producers are Turkey and the region. The term Sarouk can also be used as a generic name for similar handwoven piles which are found in Central Asia, North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.
The Sarouk rugs normally feature dark reddish shades. And the Sarouk rugs imported to the United States from 1920 to 1940 had to be re-dyed into a cherry color, for it seemed to be more attractive for homeowners.
Antique Sarouk rugs were traditionally used as floors, but now they are also used on furniture such as couches, beds, or even dressers (in some applications). Sarouk Persian rugs are mainly produced by the Persian people.
The origin of Sarouk carpets can be traced back to 1500, the reason for which antique Sarouk rug value can be very elevated. However, by browsing through the right places (Magic Rugs inventory, for example) you are sure to find Sarouk rugs for sale, so the Sarouk rug value will depend really on how well your search is.
