Sarouk Farahan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 345 × 227 cm, Wool

Overview

A Sarouk Farahan from Iran, measuring 345 × 227 cm. That is roughly 7.83 m² of floor, about 11.3' × 7.4'. Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 28 kg.

Where it fits

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 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway
