The piece in short
This Farahan, Sarouk comes from Iran and measures 366 × 281 cm. That is roughly 10.28 m² of floor, about 12' × 9.2'. Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.
Construction
The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 40 kg.
Where it fits
The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.
Fineness of the knotting
The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.
How it reads
It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
Age and condition
Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
