Garrous, also written Garrus, is the Kurdish name for the weavings of the Bijar highlands in Iranian Kurdistan, a region known less for fine drawing than for the iron-like density of its knotting. This hand-knotted rectangular rug, 297 x 151 cm (9'9" x 4'11"), carries that same weight, built around the Mahi-and-medallion design the region is known for.
The field is a deep brick red, dense with a fine diamond-lattice Mahi repeat that runs edge to edge, drawing back at the centre for a single lobed medallion in ivory and gold. In the four corners the same red seems to lighten by a shade, a soft variation within the ground rather than a second colour. Salmon-pink, dusty rose, mustard and slate-blue florals thread through the lattice, and a wide navy border of the same small blossoms closes the field between narrow ivory guard stripes.
That density is not decorative language: at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, each row is packed tightly enough to carry a pattern this fine without it blurring. The wool is hand-spun, slightly uneven in thickness, which gives the surface its faint ribbed texture rather than a flat, machine-even one. A 15 mm pile adds real depth to the design, so the lattice reads as a woven relief rather than a printed surface.
This is a rug for a hallway or a landing, somewhere it will be seen daily rather than glanced at once. Its brick red holds its own with no daylight, warming a plain floor rather than needing light to read it. The dense, firm pile is built to be walked on rather than protected, and in passing light the matte wool catches the gold and ivory of the medallion quietly, without ever shouting.

Fine quality weave
At 297 × 151 cm (4.48 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.
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 4.48 m² that is roughly 0.9 to 1.1 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
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.
