The Sarough rug, or Sarouk, the Ecbatana of Antiquity, is knotted in a few villages near Sarouk in the agricultural region of Arak. European buying houses have had branches there since the mid-19th century.
Most of these rugs are nicknamed Hamadan by traders, particularly the travel rugs knotted in this region.
These rugs have distinct identities; our model is of the Sarouk type, knotted in the small town of the same name, but marketed as Hamadan.
These rugs remain very popular in the United States, where decorators appreciate the heavy and substantial luxury pieces made of wool imported from Persia, Iran, and India.
Indian Sarough rugs are of immense quality, tightly knotted with wool imported from New Zealand.
Dimensions: Width: 108 cm (42") x Length: 166 cm (65")
The rug has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.
