Farahan Sarouk is the designation of some of the finest rugs produced in the city of Sarouk -- about 25 miles north of Arak (previously known as Sultanabad) -- in Persia/Iran in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The patterns of these rugs offer endless elegant patterns with the Herati motif. The Herati motif consists of a flower placed within a rhombus, surrounded by four acanthus leaves. Farahan Sarouk rugs have a central medallion motif. The weaving is fine: that is, thicker, tighter, and more detailed, allowing for a greater definition of the pattern.

Some of the most breathtaking examples of craftsmanship can be found in modern Indian carpets. These popular Oriental rugs commonly feature open fields with minor medallions and spandrels, surrounded by intricate floral borders, drawing their inspiration from a wide range of global styles and influences. Indian carpets exhibit a mesmerizing appearance that can vary significantly in size, complexity, color, and composition.
Due to Western influence and European demand, the weavers became very prolific to keep up with demand. Designs appealed to Western tastes employing large-scale patterns featuring millefleur (thousands of flowers) motifs. A subtle color palette of light blues, yellow, teal and rust characterize these Indian rugs. Many rugs feature a cotton foundation, are double weft and use an asymmetrical knot, while others feature a superb quality wool, resulting in a luxurious feel.
