About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarough, also written Sarouk, woven in the villages around Arak in west-central Iran and known for dense floral drawing within a firm, close knot. It measures 318 x 230 cm (10'5" x 7'7"), sized for a dining table or a generous seating group. Where the type usually sets its medallion on open ground, here the field carries the same fine pattern throughout.
What you see
The first impression is a deep, aubergine-tinged navy, cooled at the edges by a steel-blue secondary field of similar depth. A large lobed medallion holds the centre, its corners answered by matching spandrels. Medallion and field share the same fine Mahi lattice, so the drawing runs on unbroken, and only the colour beneath marks where one zone ends and the other begins. The border alone breaks that quiet, a broad brick-red band scrolling with cream and blue palmettes.
How it was made
Knotted by hand onto a cotton warp that keeps the rug flat and stable, the density runs to 128,000-160,000 knots per square metre, fine enough for the lattice to pass unbroken from field into medallion. The pile is hand-spun wool, its natural irregularity catching light unevenly and giving the surface a faint sheen rather than a flat gloss. At 12 mm the pile sits shallow, yet that density has kept every lobe of the medallion crisp for forty to sixty years.
At home
At 318 x 230 cm this suits a dining table and chairs, or a sofa group in a living room. The navy and steel-blue tones hold their own against dark wood and warm a paler floor, while the red border frames rather than competes. Because medallion and field share one pattern, the room reads calm rather than busy. Underfoot the pile is dense and firm, made to be walked on, its faint sheen shifting gently as light moves through the room.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 318 × 230 cm (7.31 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
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 7.31 m² that is roughly 0.9 to 1.2 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.
