This is a Garrous rug, also written Garrus, a Kurdish weaving from the Bijar highlands of Iranian Kurdistan, 266 x 134 cm (8'9" x 4'5"). The region is known above all for one thing: a density so firm that Bijar rugs are said to outlast every other textile in a house. Garrous shares that strength but carries the tribal identity of the Kurdish weavers who made it, rather than the workshop hand of Bijar's town production.
A dense red Mahi lattice covers the field, small fish-and-rosette motifs repeating edge to edge. At the centre sits an ivory eight-pointed star medallion, its inner rosettes touched with pink, green and rust. Directly above and below it, two smaller pendant diamonds repeat the same ivory ground, so the medallion runs as a chain along the rug's length rather than standing alone. Scattered dark green and steel-blue accents move through the lattice. A broad black border, carrying an ivory floral vine, closes the field on all sides.
The pile is hand-spun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre — the packed, iron-like weave the Bijar region is named for. That density is what lets the vertical chain of medallions stay crisp rather than blur into the surrounding lattice; each outline is set knot by knot, and holds. The wool itself carries no lustre, only a fine, matt surface, natural-dyed in a harmonious range that has settled with twenty to forty years of age.
This rug suits a bedroom, laid so its length runs down the room, echoing its own chain of medallions rather than crossing it. The brick red holds warmth against pale floorboards and stands its ground beside dark furniture. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily footsteps. In low morning light the star medallion catches first, and the eye follows the diamonds down after it.
More on Garrous rugs: origin, making and how to recognise a genuine piece
Fine quality weave
At 266 × 134 cm (3.56 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 3.56 m² that is roughly 720,000 to 890,000 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.
