Though the Sarouk name is often used to describe rug designs from all over the Feraghan plains area of ancient Persia, this is one of the rare instances where a Sarouk rug actually was designed in the tiny village of the same name. First brought to America in the early 1900's, this detached-floral Sarouk has been a favorite in this country almost from the start. The Red Sarouk version pictured here is woven of 39 individual colors.
