This is a Garrous, also written Garrus, the Kurdish tribal weaving named for the historic district at the heart of Bijar country in Iranian Kurdistan, here in runner format at 283 x 136 cm (9'3" x 4'6"). Garrous pieces are knotted from memory by Kurdish weavers across the Bijar highlands, and they carry the same iron-like density that made the wider region's rugs famous the world over.
The ground is a deep, almost black blue, and it is this darkness that gives the pattern its force. Across it runs a dense, all-over Mahi lattice, packed edge to edge with small rosettes in brick red and cream, with steel blue and dusty rose caught between the diamonds. There is no medallion, only the field working evenly along the whole length of the runner. A wide brick-red border closes it, carrying curved vine and palmette forms that stand out sharply against the dark ground, taking up close to a fifth of the width.
That density is not only visual. The pile is handspun wool, knotted onto a cotton warp at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, packed firm and almost board-like in the way the Bijar region is known for. Handspinning leaves the yarn slightly uneven, which is what gives the surface its matte, tactile feel rather than a flat, machine-even one. At 15 mm the pile stays low enough to keep the lattice crisp, held for months in the memory of a weaver working without a drawn plan.
A runner this width suits a hallway, a landing, or the foot of a bed, where the near-black ground hides the wear of a busy passage and the brick red lifts a corridor with little daylight. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for years of use rather than careful preservation. Walk past it morning and evening and the reds shift against the dark field with the light.

Fine quality weave
At 283 × 136 cm (3.85 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 3.85 m² that is roughly 770,000 to 960,000 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.
