Towards the mid to late nineteenth century, the towns of Sarouk and Arak on the western edge of the Farahan plain emerged as one of the most distinguished and productive centers within the great revival of Persian rug weaving.

The weavers of Sarouk became especially well-known for their ability to emulate and adapt the magnificent classical designs of the Safavid period (1501-1722). These rugs, like this example tend to be a finer weave and more sophisticated in their design than the typical pieces from this area.
