Wool Sarouk Persian Rug 118 × 65 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Sarouk of 118 × 65 cm. That is roughly 0.77 m² of floor, about 3.9' × 2.1'. 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 approx. 4 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
