Persian Rugs: Guide to Arak Rugs and
Carpets
Arak is one of the major provinces for
the production of rugs and carpets. Trade names for Arak
Rugs and Carpets include: American
Sarouk Rugs, Ferahan
Rugs / Feraghan
Rugs, Viss Rugs/Golpayegan Rugs, Mohajaran Sarouk,
Sarouk, Mahal, Mushkabad. Keep in mind that Sarouk rugs
and Mahal rugs can be made in the same village so it is
best to see the village names as an indication of
quality, design, and style.

The Arak Region
Arak is a term usually used in
rug literature but in reality it is just an old
name for the southern half of Markazi
Province.
Arak takes in the area bordered
by Guzan (Jozan) Arak (Sultanabad) Kasan (Kashan)
and Qom.
Guzan is up against the Hamadan
region and the next town west is Malayer. A Malayar
is in the Hamadan
family of rugs with single wefts and Turkish
knots while just a few miles away a Guzan (Jozan)
is in the Saruk family with double wefts and
Persian knots.
