About This Sarough
Where it comes from
This is a Sarouk — also written Saruk — 323 x 206 cm (10'7" x 6'9"), from the weaving tradition of west-central Persia that became, in the early twentieth century, one of the most sought-after rugs in the finest American houses. Sarouk is known above all for its dense floral fields and its familiar deep red ground — though this piece takes the pattern into navy instead.
What you see
The field is a deep navy, almost black, filled edge to edge with a fine diamond lattice in the Mahi, or 'fish', pattern, each diamond crossed by a small coral-pink rosette touched with dusty blue and mustard. At the centre sits a single lozenge medallion, modest in scale, all but absorbed into the lattice rather than commanding it. A wide terracotta-red border of floral vine work frames the field, held between narrow ivory guard stripes that mark a clean line between the dark ground and the warmer red beyond.
How it was made
A density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre makes a pattern this fine possible — each rosette and every turn of the lattice drawn with a precision a coarser weave could not hold. The pile is hand-spun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp, and it carries a slight sheen that gives the navy ground depth rather than flatness. Sarouk weaving is known for a firm, close knot, and it shows here in the control of the drawing, nothing blurred at the edges.
At home
This suits a dining table or a sofa group in a living room, large enough to anchor either comfortably. Against a pale floor the navy grounds the space without darkening it; against dark furniture it holds its own, letting the coral and terracotta carry the warmth. Underfoot the pile is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than careful stepping-around. In afternoon light the sheen catches along the lattice, and the navy quietly gives up the detail worked into it — the restraint that sets this Sarouk apart from the red it is best known for.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 323 × 206 cm (6.65 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 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 6.65 m² that is roughly 2.1 to 2.5 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.
