About This Garrous

Where it comes from

A Garrous, from the Kurdish highlands around Bijar in Iranian Kurdistan, measuring 276 x 146 cm (9'1" x 4'9") — a tribal weaving, hand-knotted from memory rather than drawn out on a plan. The region, also written Garrus, is known above all for density: a closeness of knotting so firm it is often called iron-like, built to outlast almost anything else underfoot in a house.

What you see

The field is a deep navy, covered edge to edge in a fine Mahi lattice of small repeating diamonds. At the centre this steady pattern gives way to one large lobed medallion in brick red and cream, its outline stepping forward rather than blending in. Ivory spandrels fill the four corners, each holding small dark figures in the lattice, birds perhaps, though not certainly. A wide madder-red border carries rosettes and palmettes, framed by narrow guard stripes in cream, navy and pale blue.

How it was made

The wool is hand-spun from local Kurdish flocks, its slight irregularity giving a soft, close texture and a faint natural sheen. Knotted at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre on a cotton warp, with a pile some 15 mm deep, the weave holds the medallion's outline sharp against the lattice rather than letting it blur. That same closeness is what gives Bijar-region rugs their name for toughness, and a piece this tightly knotted took months at the loom.

At home

This rug suits a seating area or a bedroom, beside a bed or in front of a sofa. The navy holds its own against dark wood and still warms a pale floor; the red medallion gives the eye somewhere to rest. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than protection. In evening light the sheen catches first along the medallion, then across the lattice.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 276 × 146 cm (4.03 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 4.03 m² that is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 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.
