About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarough rug, 274 x 211 cm (9'0" x 6'11"), from the Arak weaving region of west-central Iran. Sarough is best known for dense floral drawing on a ground of deep Persian red. Here the tradition takes a different turn: the field is a deep navy, with that signature red reserved for the border.
What you see
The first impression is of navy and rust in fine balance, a diamond lattice repeating evenly across the field with no medallion to interrupt it. Each diamond carries a small floral turn, the Mahi motif, drawn in cream and brick red against the dark ground, so from across the room the pattern reads almost like a printed textile. Narrow guard stripes in cream and red step in before the border, a wide band of brick red filled with rosettes and palmettes that brings red back to the surface.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted onto a cotton foundation at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre — enough to carry the fine turns of the Mahi lattice without being so fine that the rug turns fragile. Hand-spun yarn takes dye unevenly along its length, and it is this that gives the navy its depth and the rust its warmth, rather than a flat, printed colour. Clipped to twelve millimetres, the pile is dense and substantial, made to be walked on rather than merely admired.
At home
At 274 x 211 cm this rug suits a dining table or a living-room seating group, large enough to anchor furniture rather than sit beneath it. Against pale floors the navy field holds its own without darkening the room, and the rust and cream keep it warm rather than heavy. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use, and as light crosses it the rust catches first, then settles back.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 274 × 211 cm (5.78 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 5.78 m² that is roughly 1.2 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.
