About This Sarough
Where it comes from
A Sarough rug, hand-knotted in western Iran, 200 x 131 cm (6'7" x 4'4"). Sarough weavings are best known for a particular red ground and for floral patterns drawn with unusual control, tight and elegant rather than loose. This piece keeps that discipline of drawing but sets it against navy, and drops the medallion that most Saroughs are built around.
What you see
The field is a deep navy, filled edge to edge with coral-pink vines that scroll and overlap into a lattice, carrying cream palmettes and touches of mustard-gold, sage and pale blue. There is no medallion to gather the eye, so the pattern moves as a continuous rhythm rather than settling anywhere in particular. A broad brick-red border, worked in the same floral scrollwork, closes the field on all sides, and two narrow ivory guard stripes hold the border away from the dark ground.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, knotted at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre. Hand-spun wool takes dye slightly unevenly along its length, which is why the coral holds its warmth without ever going flat or plastic against the navy. At this density the vine lattice stays crisp rather than blurring into a scatter of flowers, which matters more here than in a medallion rug, since there is no fixed centre to carry the design and the whole field has to hold its rhythm on its own. A 12 mm pile keeps the surface short and even, so the drawing reads clearly rather than sinking into depth.
At home
At this size the rug suits a bedroom or a quiet reading corner rather than a full dining spread, laid where it will be seen whole rather than partly covered. Against pale floorboards the navy grounds the room without darkening it, and the coral keeps it from ever feeling severe. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a rug built to be walked on daily rather than kept for show. Morning light catches the slight lustre in the wool and moves along the vines, and it is the lattice, not a centre, that keeps drawing the eye back.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 200 × 131 cm (2.62 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 2.62 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.3 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
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.
