Sarouk Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 318 × 412 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 318 × 412 cm — a Sarouk made entirely by hand. That is roughly 13.1 m² of floor, about 10.4' × 13.5'. Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
