Hand-Knotted Wool Sarouk Farahan Persian Rug, 221 × 80 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 221 × 80 cm — a Sarouk Farahan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.77 m² of floor, about 7.3' × 2.6'. Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Where it fits

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated condition: new.
