About This Garrous
Where it comes from
This is a Garrous, also written Garrus, a Kurdish weaving from the Bijar highlands of western Iran, measuring 300 x 162 cm (9'10" x 5'4"). Garrous rugs share the celebrated iron-like density of Bijar work, though the name marks the specific tribal character of the villages around Bijar itself. This particular piece carries that strength into an unusually intricate design.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field, dense enough to read almost as solid ground before the eye finds the medallion. Its lobed outline is not a single firm line but a fine cream lattice, lace-like against the red. Around it, floral vines and palmettes in salmon-pink, dusty rose and sage green crowd the field, navy spandrels marking each corner. A wide navy border repeats the pink rosettes and scrolling vine, held by several narrower guard stripes stacked one against the next.
How it was made
This piece was hand-knotted using hand-spun wool from local Kurdish flocks, spun with the slight irregularity of a hand rather than a machine, giving the pile a soft, faintly lustrous surface. At around 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre, the density is high enough to hold the medallion's cream lattice in fine, legible lines rather than letting it blur into the red ground. A cotton warp and a pile clipped to twelve millimetres have kept that crispness through forty to sixty years of use.
At home
A rug this size suits a living room, holding a seating group rather than vanishing under a large table. The brick red stands up to dark wood and warms a pale floor, with the navy border grounding the whole composition. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, true to Bijar's reputation, made for daily use rather than display. Sunlight crossing it picks out the cream lattice of the medallion.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 300 × 162 cm (4.86 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 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre; across 4.86 m² that is roughly 780,000 to 970,000 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.
