About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarough, a rug type from the Arak district of west-central Iran, long associated with a deep, almost mahogany red ground beneath dense floral drawing. This one measures 195 x 134 cm (6'5" x 4'5") and takes the same classic medallion design somewhere else entirely: onto a field of luminous cream.
What you see
The first impression is of light rather than depth. A large lozenge medallion sits at the centre, built up in layers: a black inner cartouche, a scalloped sage-green frame around it, and sprays of pink, mustard and brick-red flowers picked out with fine detail. The cream field runs out to matching cream corner spandrels, so the medallion reads as a single jewel-like object rather than the dominant weight of the design. A wide border in the same sage green, dense with floral scrollwork, closes the composition, edged by narrow black guard stripes that give the whole rug a crisp, defined edge.
How it was made
That crispness comes from firm handknotting on a cotton warp, at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre — fine enough to hold the small floral sprays and the scalloped medallion line without them blurring into the ground, which is exactly what a paler palette needs if it is not to look washed out. The pile itself is handspun wool, left at 12 mm, giving enough body to the surface that the colour sits with some depth rather than lying flat. It is a new piece, made within the last two decades, but to the old Kerman-style medallion drawing that Sarough weavers have used for generations, only here drawn lighter and airier than the type is generally known for.
At home
At this size the rug suits a seating area in a living room or the floor beside a bed, somewhere it will be seen whole rather than half-covered by a table. Against pale floorboards it lifts the room without adding weight, and against darker furniture the cream ground holds its own instead of disappearing. Underfoot it is dense and firm, wool that takes daily use rather than asking to be spared it. As light crosses the room through the day, it catches the slight sheen in the denser floral clusters of the medallion, so the centrepiece never quite looks the same twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 195 × 134 cm (2.61 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.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 2.61 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.3 million 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.
