Note: Sarouk rugs have been very popular in the U.S. since well before the turn of the century (The 1900s ). It is believed that starting around the 1900s, Sarouk patterns were designed by the westerners to satisfy western taste. Some of the best quality Sarouks were produced by Samuel Teryakian, the on-location representative of Tafshanjian of New York, in Persia, whose production lasted till the late 50s. This is a remarkable Mid-20th-century Tafshanjian-Sarouk with captivating colors and patterns.
