About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarough, a village weaving from the Arak district of west-central Persia, measuring 155 x 88 cm (5'1" x 2'11"). Sarough rugs are known for a firm, close knot and dense floral drawing set against a deep, near-mahogany red — though on this piece that red has been kept back for the border alone.
What you see
The field opens not as one continuous pattern but as a run of separate pastel compartments — sage green, dusty pink, dove blue, terracotta and mauve. Each panel carries its own diamond medallion, ivory at the centre, enclosing a small stylised animal figure and flanked by hooked geometric forms. Only at the edge does the familiar Sarough red return, filling a wide border of pale pink octagons, each centred with a small star, held between narrow black-and-red guard stripes.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted on a cotton warp, with a pile of hand-spun rather than machine-spun wool. Hand-spun yarn varies slightly in thickness along its length, so it takes dye a little unevenly, and that is why the sage, pink and mauve read as soft and matte rather than saturated. The same firm knotting Sarough weavers are known for keeps the small-scale drawing crisp even at this size, so each compartment stays distinct instead of bleeding into the one beside it — a discipline that let the weaver change colour, panel by panel, without ever loosening the pattern.
At home
At 155 x 88 cm this is a rug for a smaller space — a study floor, a spot beside the bed, a quiet corner by a door — rather than a room-filling centrepiece. The muted sage, pink and dove-blue sit easily against a pale floor, and the brick-red border gives the whole piece an anchor without taking the room over. Underfoot it is flat and fairly low, firm rather than deep, suited to somewhere that gets used every day rather than kept for best. Live with it a while and the compartments begin to read as separate small chapters, each one worth pausing on for its own sake.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 155 × 88 cm (1.36 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
