About This Sarough
Where it comes from
A Sarough from the Arak region of western Persia, 206 x 127 cm (6'9" x 4'2"), belongs to a tradition that Hamburg's older clients have long known by another spelling, Sarouk. The type made its name in the finest American houses of the early twentieth century on the strength of a particular red ground and firm, elegant knotting. This piece keeps the firmness and the elegance, but not the red: its field is a deep indigo navy, which is the first thing to notice about a rug of this name.
What you see
The impression is of a dense, dark field lit from within by rows of glowing peach-toned hexagons, each one an elongated medallion, marching in offset diagonal columns across the navy ground. There is no single medallion to draw the eye to a centre; instead the pattern repeats in a modular rhythm, almost like a textile block print, with fine vine and leaf motifs filling the space between. A comparatively wide border in rust red, dense with floral vine ornament, closes the field and is itself framed by narrow ivory guard stripes carrying small rosettes. Against the indigo, that red border and those ivory lines do the work a single medallion usually does elsewhere.
How it was made
Hand-knotted over a cotton warp, with a pile of hand-spun wool at around 320,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, the rug carries a density that keeps the small vine motifs and the aligned medallion columns crisp rather than blurred, which matters more here than on a rug with one large central design. Hand-spun wool never runs perfectly even in thickness, and that is exactly why the surface reads as matte and soft-grained rather than glossy. At 12 mm the pile sits full but not deep, clipped even and firm underfoot, the mark of a weave built for use rather than display.
At home
In a bedroom, this rug settles rather than dominates. The indigo ground holds its own against dark wood furniture and pale floors alike, while the peach medallions keep the room from feeling heavy, warming it in a way plain red Sarough grounds tend to do more insistently. Underfoot it is dense and firm, forgiving of daily footsteps beside a bed or under a reading chair, wearing well rather than needing protection. As light shifts through the day, the peach columns catch it in turn, giving the field a quiet, moving rhythm long after the pattern itself has become familiar.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 206 × 127 cm (2.62 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 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 2.62 m² that is roughly 840,000 to 990,000 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.
