About This Sannandadj
Where it comes from
A Sanandaj, from the Kurdish provincial capital of the same name in western Iran, 148 x 113 cm (4'10" x 3'8"). Sanandaj is where Kurdish weaving turns urban: the same heritage as the tribal Kurdish rugs, but drawn to a workshop cartoon instead of memory, with a closer-sheared pile and a far more exact hand. It is known, above all, for its precision.
What you see
The field reads as a strong brick red, and sitting on it is not one medallion but three, stepped one into the next in a cruciform chain — navy, then ivory, then navy again, so the eye moves through a sequence rather than resting on a single fixed point. Around this the ground continues in dark navy, scattered with small floral sprigs at a fine, even scale. The border, about a sixth of the width, carries its own navy floral vine, held between narrow red guard stripes set with small rosettes and touches of green and mustard.
How it was made
At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, this is fine work for a piece its size, and it is what lets the stepped edges of the medallion chain stay crisp rather than blurring into the field the way a coarser weave would force them to. The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted onto a cotton warp and sheared to 12 mm, so despite the exactness of the drawing the surface keeps a soft, slightly uneven, matte character rather than the flat sheen of a machine-spun yarn. Precision of design and warmth of material sit together here rather than competing.
At home
A rug of this size suits a study, a landing, or the floor beside a bed, and its graphic clarity holds up well in a smaller, closer-viewed space where a busy allover pattern would tire the eye. The red carries real warmth against pale floorboards, while the navy keeps it grounded rather than bright. Underfoot the pile is dense and firm, built for a spot that gets daily use rather than one to be stepped around. Morning light picks out the ivory medallion first, then settles into the red once the room brightens.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 148 × 113 cm (1.67 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. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 1.67 m² that is roughly 340,000 to 420,000 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.
