Description

This striking Saruk rug showcases the rich heritage of Persian craftsmanship, characterized by its vibrant red background adorned with intricate floral patterns. The dense, soft wool pile not only provides comfort underfoot but also adds warmth and texture to any space. Measuring 2'10" x 20'4", this elongated piece seamlessly complements contemporary decor trends, making it a perfect accent for hallways or living areas. The careful attention to detail and quality materials reflect the skill of the artisans who created this unique piece.

Saruk rugs were produced in Saruk, Arak, and the surrounding countryside in the Markazi Province of Iran. For much of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, rugs exported from Iran to the USA were dyed to a desirable, deep, raspberry red color, since Americans had an affinity for the curvilinear and floral designs, but not the traditional rose colors they were known for. Saruk rugs continue to be produced today, using the same methods as during early production, with the exception of the post-production dye job.
