About This Sarough
Where it comes from
A Sarough runner, hand-knotted in Iran, 196 x 85 cm (6'5" x 2'9"). The type is best known for its warm, dense floral patterning over the so-called classic Persian red ground that made it a favourite in the finest American houses of the early twentieth century. This one departs from that convention: the red survives only in the border, while the field itself is a deep navy blue.
What you see
The first impression is that navy field, closely covered with individually framed floral bouquets set on the diagonal, each one held in its own diamond. A central diamond medallion breaks the lattice at the middle, gathering the eye before it can drift outward. Around all of this runs a wide brick-red border of floral scrollwork in cream, blue and gold, held in check by narrow ivory guard stripes that step it back cleanly from the dark field.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, at a density of 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, knotted firmly enough to hold a precise, controlled line rather than a loose, blurred one. That firmness is what lets the bouquets stay separate and legible instead of merging into one continuous vine, which is the more usual Sarough reading. The pile itself stands 12mm deep, closely clipped, giving the surface an even, slightly corded edge and a light natural sheen rather than a flat one.
At home
A runner of this width and length belongs in a hallway, along a landing, or beside a bed, and the navy ground is the reason it works so well there: it holds its own against a dark floor and grounds a pale one without needing the room's other colours to match it. The brick-red border does the opposite job, lifting a hallway that gets little daylight. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for a passage that gets walked rather than admired from a doorway, and as the light moves along it through the day the gold and salmon-pink threads in the bouquets catch and settle by turns.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 196 × 85 cm (1.67 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 1.67 m² that is roughly 210,000 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.
