About This Sarough
Where it comes from
A Sarough runner from the Arak region of west-central Persia, 206 x 76 cm (6'9" x 2'6"). Sarough weaving is prized above all for its deep "Persian red" ground, the colour that carried it into the finest houses of the early twentieth century. Here that red is held in reserve: the ground is a deep navy, almost black, with the region's dense floral drawing carried in the blossoms instead.
What you see
Against that near-black field runs a lattice of floral diamonds, each holding its own small bouquet in brick red, cream, dusty rose, mustard gold and sage green. At the centre a bold diamond medallion breaks the repeat, with pale cream floral pendants hanging above and below it. Some of the smaller diamonds flanking the medallion carry pale blue-and-cream rosettes, a quiet second motif within the lattice. A wide floral vine border, drawn in the same navy and the same palette, frames the field rather than contrasting with it.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted by hand onto a cotton warp at a fixed, even density of around 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre — tight enough to hold the crisp edges of each small motif without the drawing turning stiff. At 12 millimetres the pile is deep enough to give the surface its faint ribbed texture and light sheen, and dense enough for the pattern to read clearly even at this narrow width. It is a new weaving, made to be walked on from the start.
At home
At 76 centimetres wide, this is a rug for a hallway or a landing, somewhere a room wants colour but has no width to spare. The navy ground holds its own where daylight is limited, while the red, gold and rose in the lattice catch whatever light there is. Underfoot the pile is dense and firm, built for daily footsteps rather than careful ones. Morning light along its length brings the gold and dusty rose forward, one bouquet at a time.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 206 × 76 cm (1.57 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 1.57 m² that is roughly 200,000 to 250,000 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.
