About this rug
Origin Iran, format 473 × 322 cm — a Farahan, Sarouk made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 15.23 m² (15.5' × 10.6'). Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.
Construction
The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 40 kg.
Where it fits
The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.
Knot density and quality
The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.
On the colourway
The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
Condition
Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
