Old Sarab

This one-of-a-kind piece in light brown unites traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. With a knot density of around 90,000 knots per m², the demanding workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the design and the fine execution of the details. At 470 × 96 cm it is well suited as a runner or hallway rug. The harmonious colouring and the characteristic structure give any room an exclusive, welcoming 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.

This old Sarab is around 96 years old and a true collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this old Sarab was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: thanks to the wool's natural lanolin content, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally proofed against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, helps regulate the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The foundation (weft and warp threads) of this old Sarab is made of new wool.

Condition

This old Sarab has a history. It was knotted around 96. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. The pile has grown only slightly thinner over the years. The edges of the rug have also taken a little wear in places and could do with a repair. We have not restored this old Sarab because we feel it has a special presence just as it is. If that is what you would prefer, we will of course gladly restore the rug for you. Either way, this old Sarab will give you pleasure for decades to come.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.

Child labour? No thanks.

Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.

We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.

That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
