About This Ilam
Where it comes from
From the mountain villages of Ilam, in Kurdish western Iran, comes a rug type known above all for its density and its warmth of colour. This one measures 276 x 202 cm (9'1" x 6'8"), a size suited to a proper seating group rather than a small corner, and it carries the deep, saturated palette and thick pile the region is prized for.
What you see
A rich brick red fills the field, dense with small floral sprays, and against it floats a navy lobed medallion with soft pendants above and below. What catches the eye is how precisely the four corner spandrels answer that medallion, in the same navy ground and the same scrolling vinework, giving the whole composition a symmetry that villages rugs do not always trouble themselves with. A wide ivory border carries the same navy scrollwork with red palmettes set into it, closed off by slim red and navy guard stripes that hold the busy field firmly in place.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted by hand onto a cotton warp at a density of around 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, with the pile itself left at a generous 12 millimetres. Hand-spun wool takes dye unevenly at the fibre level, which is what gives the red its depth rather than a flat, printed look, and the combined weight of density and pile height is what lets a village weaver draw a medallion this clean and hold its edges sharp rather than soft. This is a rug twenty to forty years into its life already, and that density is exactly what has kept its lines this crisp.
At home
At this size the rug belongs under a dining table or in front of a sofa, in a living or dining room where it has room to be seen whole rather than cropped by furniture. The red will hold its own against dark wood and against pale oak floors alike, warming either without needing help from anything else in the room. Underfoot it is dense, springy and firm, built for a room that gets used rather than one kept for best. What stays with you is that unusual order in the corners, the sense of a hand working carefully rather than freely, and how it keeps catching the eye in exactly the same way each time the light in the room shifts.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 276 × 202 cm (5.58 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
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 5.58 m² that is roughly 1.1 to 1.4 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.
