Sarouk Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 513 × 290 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 513 × 290 cm — a Sarouk made entirely by hand. That is roughly 14.88 m² of floor, about 16.8' × 9.5'. 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. 14 mm. Weight is given as approx. 50 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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

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

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
