About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarough — also written Saruk — runner, 211 x 80 cm (6'11" x 2'7"), from the Arak region of Persia, a weaving tradition known above all for its dense floral patterning and a warm, classic red ground that once furnished the finest American houses of the early twentieth century. Here, though, that signature red has been set aside for something far darker.
What you see
The first impression is of a deep blackish-brown field, closer to ebony than to navy, scattered with five pale floral bouquets that march down the length of the runner rather than gathering into a single medallion. Each cluster carries ivory and cream blooms, dusty rose-pink flowers and touches of steel blue, with mustard-gold leaves threading between them. A wide cream border, filled with the same small floral sprays and edged by a thin blue guard stripe, gives the dark ground somewhere to rest.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted with hand-spun wool pile on a cotton foundation, at 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre — tight enough to hold the fine outline of each bouquet against a field this dark without the pattern blurring. A pile of 12 millimetres gives the surface enough body to carry its light sheen, and this firm knotting is what lets a pattern this dense stay legible against black-brown rather than dissolve into it.
At home
As a runner, this piece suits a hallway or landing, seen in passing rather than settled under furniture. The dark ground hides everyday footsteps, while the ivory, rose and steel-blue bouquets lift a corridor with little daylight. Underfoot the pile is dense and firm, made to be walked on rather than admired. Catch it under evening light and the wool takes on its sheen, the bouquets seeming to step forward down the dark ground.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 211 × 80 cm (1.69 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 1.69 m² that is roughly 220,000 to 270,000 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.
