Sarouk Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 283 × 410 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 283 × 410 cm — a Sarouk made entirely by hand. That is roughly 11.6 m² of floor, about 9.3' × 13.5'. 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 5-7mm.

Size and placement

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

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. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
