About This Garrous
Where it comes from
Garrous is the historic name for the Bijar region of Iranian Kurdistan, and it marks out one of the most respected branches of Kurdish weaving. This rug measures 265 x 145 cm (8'8" x 4'9"), a size suited to a good-sized room rather than a hallway. The Garrous name is used specifically for pieces that carry the region's legendary density along with a strong sense of Kurdish tribal identity, and this piece shows both qualities clearly, along with an unusual degree of order for something knotted entirely from memory.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, filled edge to edge with a dense floral lattice, and against it a large stepped diamond medallion sits in navy and cream, reading almost as though it floats above the pattern rather than sitting within it. The ivory cornerspandrels pick up the same angular floral drawing as the medallion itself, so the four corners answer the centre in a way that feels planned rather than simply repeated. A wide navy border carries a serrated vine of leaf and blossom, dark enough to hold the red field firmly in place, and scattered through the whole design are smaller notes of rust, dusty pink, olive-grey, camel and salmon.
How it was made
This is hand-knotted, on a cotton warp, in hand-spun wool that carries a natural sheen and gives the surface its slightly matte, softly worn character. The pile sits low at 15 mm, and knotted at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, which is the density behind the famous Bijar firmness underfoot — a construction close-packed enough that it holds its shape rather than yielding. The matched spandrels are worth noticing here: tribal weaving normally allows itself small departures from symmetry, and getting corner and centre to echo this closely, entirely from memory, took a steady hand over the many months the piece was on the loom.
At home
At 265 x 145 cm this rug sits well under a dining table or in front of a sofa, in a living or dining room where it has room to be seen in full. The red carries real warmth against pale floors, and holds its own comfortably against dark wood or leather furniture without being overwhelmed by either. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a weave built for a room that gets daily use rather than one kept for best, and at forty to sixty years old it already carries the patina to prove it. In afternoon light the rust, camel and dusty pink notes lift out of the red lattice in a way that is easy to keep noticing.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 265 × 145 cm (3.84 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 3.84 m² that is roughly 770,000 to 960,000 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.
