Overview

Origin Iran, format 214 × 137 cm — a Sarouk made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.93 m² (7' × 4.5'). Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Where it fits

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
