Sarouk Carpets & Rugs

Sarouk (also spelled Saruq) is a village located in the province of Markazi in central Iran. Sarouk rugs are made in and around this village in both village and workshop settings. In general these well-known rugs are of very high quality. They are woven with good quality wool on cotton foundation with the asymmetrical knot. Sarouk rugs had been famous for floral designs with the central medallion. They were the most popular until this was replaced with the pattern of detached floral sprays on burgundy or dark pink backgrounds in the early 20th century. Sarouk rugs can be geometric or curvilinear in pattern.

Kirman Rugs

Kirman rugs are normally associated with the city of Kirman in South-East Iran, and are well-known for their very artistic designs. Kirman rugs are of very high quality falling in the same class as Tabriz and Isfahan rugs. Kirman rugs in our collection are highly distinctive rugs primarily in highly floral medallion or all over designs, with wool pile on cotton base in more muted and complimentary tones for any background.

Gabbeh Carpets & Rugs

In Persian it means ‘fringe’. Also translated to unclipped or long pile carpets. The Gabbeh is a very simple hand-woven rug, traditionally tribal made by nomadic people, in southern Iran, Pakistan and India. It’s istinctive naive style is especially suited to modern and eclectic interiors. The early weaver was given only the cotton for the base, along with dyed woolen yarn. He had no pattern, but looked at his surroundings and reproduced what he saw. Therefore each carpet is unique. This spontaneous style recently achieved much wider acceptance, and became very popular at home and abroad. Generally on a thick, heavy pile it combines large uncluttered fields with the occasional geometric human or animal silhouette. Sometimes there are over-all abstract patterns or bold stripes. Due to great demand for the Pak-Gabbeh, patterns were eventually made of the more popular designs.
