About This Garrous
Where it comes from
This is a Garrous, also written Garrus, a Kurdish tribal rug woven in the high country around Bijar in Iranian Kurdistan, 283 x 154 cm (9'3" x 5'1"). Garrous is the old regional name for that same Bijar country, and its rugs share the famously dense, iron-like structure that made Bijar weaving renowned across Persia, while keeping a distinct Kurdish tribal character.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field and holds the eye first. Across it runs a dense, all-over lattice of small rosettes and diamond lozenges, linked by curved, serrated teal-green leaves, with ochre and camel tones scattered through. There is no central medallion; the motifs march in clean vertical columns rather than scattering randomly, giving the field an unusually steady rhythm for a Mahi pattern. A wide border in dark navy-black carries rows of dusty pink rosettes between cream guard stripes, closing the field firmly.
How it was made
That order is partly a matter of density. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, tied by hand onto a cotton warp, the weaver had room to keep each rosette distinct and each column straight, rather than letting the pattern blur. The wool is hand-spun and only lightly sheared, at 12 millimetres, which gives the surface its slightly fuzzy hand rather than a sheen. A rug at this density, knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan, represents months of work at the loom.
At home
A piece this size suits a seating area in a living room, in front of a sofa. The brick red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made to be walked on rather than kept for best. As daylight crosses it, the vertical columns catch the light in turn, keeping the pattern quietly alive.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 283 × 154 cm (4.36 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 4.36 m² that is roughly 0.9 to 1.1 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.
