Hand-Knotted Wool Sarouk Persian Rug, 245 × 345 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Sarouk of 245 × 345 cm. That is roughly 8.45 m² of floor, about 8' × 11.3'. 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 12-15mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
