Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare. This old Re-import Sarough is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The luxuriant \u003cb\u003eflower motifs\u003c\/b\u003e of this Re-import Sarough are elegant and varied. The graceful vegetative symbols representing flowers, leaves and branches are artfully intertwined.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e  The edge of the rug is decorated with an \u003cb\u003eedging (border)\u003c\/b\u003e. The border forms a glorious contrast to the center.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e In the middle of the central field of this Re-import Sarough is the symmetrical center, also called \u003cb\u003emedallion\u003c\/b\u003e. The design of the field is arranged in such a way that it gives the impression that the medallion is floating on the field.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Re-import Sarough is rusty red.  The border features beige, dark blue and rusty red. The olive green center combines the colors dark blue and beige.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis Re-import Sarough has had admirers before you. It was hand knotted about \u003cb\u003e 1930\u003c\/b\u003e. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it lovingly. Therefore it is in very good condition despite its age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe technique used to dye the \u003cb\u003e wool\u003c\/b\u003e of the pile of this Re-import Sarough is over 200 years old. Dyeing with \u003cb\u003enatural or plant-based dyes\u003c\/b\u003e is more complicated, expensive and time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root as dye per kilogram of wool. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of dye per kilogram of wool. Spinning wool is also time-consuming and labour-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it; high-quality wool retains its natural fat content when dyed with natural dyes. \u003cb\u003eNatural dyes\u003c\/b\u003e create fascinating, iridescent patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool with its slight irregularities and natural shades unfolds in rooms that are furnished in a more traditional or country house style but also as a contrasting element in modern interiors. The weft and warp threads of this Re-import Sarough are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255449628765,"sku":"8555","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/8555_gesamt_60440100-5184-4ecc-8107-40d18250177e.jpg?v=1586918627","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/alter-re-import-sarough-teppich-242-x-127-8555","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
