Sarouk Farahan Persian Rug 279 × 407 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

This Sarouk Farahan comes from Iran and measures 279 × 407 cm. It covers approximately 11.36 m², or 9.2' × 13.4'. Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is 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.
