Sarouk Farahan Persian Rug 77 × 55 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Farahan, Sarouk of 77 × 55 cm. The covered area is about 0.42 m² (2.5' × 1.8'). Sarouk rugs are known for dense knotting and floral motifs.

What it is made of

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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