Sarukh rugs are traditionally featured with a floral pattern set in a red background flanked by floral arrangements on the border.From around 1960 onwards the influence of some American carpet importers began to make itself felt in the development of design, hence the motifs subsequently becoming known as American Sarukh.
These rugs were characterised by their medium dense pile consisting of 100 - 225 knots per square inch. Most of the modern Sarukh weavers concentrate on an allover design which eliminates the significance of a centre Medallion. These newer Sarouqs are available in a dense nap to produce a finer rug with a shorter thickness of pile. |
