Sarab
This one-of-a-kind piece in light brown and cream white brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. The knot density of approx. 120,000 knots per m² makes the painstaking workmanship visible – right down to the fine execution of the details. At 413 × 94 cm, it is well placed as a hallway runner. It also looks good beside the bed. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic texture lend any room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a furnishing item – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin
The rug region of Sarab borders the district of Tabriz to the west and Ardebil to the east. The small town of Sarab thus lies right in the middle of one of Iran's largest rug-knotting areas. The famous and refined Serapi rugs are knotted in the town of Sarab. Knotted with Turkish knots, Sarab rugs are distinguished by a firm knot, a double weft thread and a dense wool pile. As its primary ornament, the typical Sarab pattern usually features a hexagon that repeats several times and is often interrupted by a diamond.
Material
The pile of this Sarab was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. It is a renewable, natural raw material with a whole range of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is naturally protected against dirt. Wool also provides excellent thermal insulation, has a balancing effect on the indoor climate and absorbs sound.The weft and warp threads of this Sarab are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and supple, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.
Condition
You are not the first to take a liking to this Sarab. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. Only the fringes are slightly damaged in a few places and could do with a repair, if you like to treat your rugs well. It was knotted around 1970. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
