Label TextHandmade Persian Mohajeran Sarouk Rug, c. 1910's, with very fine wool quality and fine weave, traditional red and blue background color and floral design. Mohajeran Sarouks are normally finer quality then regular Sarouk rugs. Carpets produced in Sarouk feature classic curvilinear vine scrolls and opulent arabesques as well as local bouquet-filled designs that represent the diversity of regional carpet-weaving traditions.
