Origin Iran, format 424 × 76 cm — a Sarouk made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.22 m² (13.9' × 2.5'). 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 approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 12 kg.

Size and placement

On the knot count

How it reads

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
