Sarouk Rugs are closely associated with the weaving centres of central Iran, where local artisans developed a distinctive approach combining Persian floral medallion design with a famously dense wool pile. Early 20th-century Sarouk carpet production responded directly to Western demand, especially in the United States, leading to what is commonly referred to as the American Sarouk style. This adaptation is reflected in the use of rich rose and blue tones, balanced compositions, and intricate botanical patterns that remain widely respected among vintage Sarouk rugs.

The construction of a hand-knotted Sarouk rug typically involves high-quality, resilient wool and a weave noted for its uniformity and compact texture. This gives antique Sarouk Persian rugs their characteristic firmness and long-lasting surface, making them especially well-suited to regular use in both classic and contemporary British interiors. While motifs range from curvilinear florals to more geometric interpretations, the overarching emphasis is on refined detail and a sense of understated luxury.
