Origin and Tradition

The rug was made in Sarough, Iran. Sarough is among the established weaving regions of central Iran. Its rug-making tradition is associated with finely executed knotting and carefully arranged decorative schemes. Both floral forms and more structured, geometric-looking elements occur in the visual language of the region. This example is dated to the decades from the nineteen-sixties through the nineteen-eighties and is described as a vintage rug.

Design and Pattern

The design uses characteristic Sarough patterns in a balanced composition. Floral and geometric elements provide the basis of the drawing. Its palette consists of warm natural tones. Natural dyes and hand-spun wool can create a soft appearance with gentle variation rather than completely uniform colour fields. This combination of pattern, material and colour reflects the design described for this Sarough rug.
