About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarough rug, also written Saruk, from north-west Iran, measuring 128 x 65 cm (4'2" x 2'2"). Sarough is the classic Persian-red weaving that furnished the finest American houses in the early twentieth century, prized for its firm knot and its controlled, elegant floral drawing – luxurious in feel but never fragile.
What you see
The field is a deep, brick red, and against it floats a large lobed medallion with a cool sage-green core, framed by cream floral spandrels – an unusual contrast, since most Sarough medallions sit in ivory or blue rather than this cooler green. Around the medallion, pairs of steel-blue and olive paisley shapes step outward in strict symmetry. A dark navy-black border, filled with dense cream floral scrollwork, closes the design and holds the red field firmly in place.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted on a cotton warp, with a pile of hand-spun wool rather than machine-spun yarn – a slower, less even thread that gives each fibre a slight variation in thickness and catches light unevenly, which is why the sage-green and cream areas carry a soft sheen the red ground does not. At around 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, with the pile clipped to twelve millimetres, the drawing stays crisp enough to keep that sharp red-against-green contrast from blurring at the edges.
At home
At just over four feet by two, this suits a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed. The red holds its own against dark floors or navy woodwork, warming a space even where daylight is scarce. Underfoot the wool is dense and springy, made for daily use, and that sage-green core keeps catching the eye long after the rest of the pattern feels familiar.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 128 × 65 cm (0.83 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
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 0.83 m² that is roughly 170,000 to 210,000 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.
