Highly Detailed Handmade Persian Sarouk Runner
Simply spectacular highly detailed Persian Sarouk, size 5.2 x 11.5 feet. Made of fine quality lamb's wool pile on cotton foundation, all natural vegetable dye, never die, incorporating a highly detailed allover free flowing floral pattern on a black colored background; and contrasted beautifully by an intricately done floral border. Hand woven in Sarouk, Iran. About Sarouk rugs: the thickness of the luxurious pile allows Sarouk rugs to withstand the level of foot traffic that would be typical in hallways, common rooms and foyers. The style, quality and durability of Sarouk rugs have made them extremely popular with western consumers then and now. Sarouk carpets derive their name from an obscure village in Persia, located twenty miles north of arak (formerly Sultanabad). Over a short span of history, this village produced some of the most highly regarded Persian weavings of the late 19th to early 20th century.
