Old Sarough

This one-of-a-kind piece in dark blue and pink unites traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. At approx. 30,000 knots per m², the workmanship is correspondingly painstaking, as you can see in the precise drawing and the finely executed details. Its 146 × 100 cm make it a bedside rug. It comes into its own just as well in the bedroom or hallway. The harmonious colouring and the distinctive texture give every room an exclusive, homely atmosphere. A rug of this quality is far more than a piece of furnishing – it is a piece of traditional textile art with individual character and lasting value.

Origin

This rug comes from Sarough (also spelled Sarouk, Saruk or Sarogh). Sarough is one of the best-known rug-knotting regions in Iran. Located in the western Persian province of Aarak, it takes in the provenances Arak, Djozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. Persian patterns of every kind are knotted in Sarough, in some cases to the buyer's own specifications. Weavers there are especially fond of the neighbouring Farahan designs, of their own Sultanabad patterns and of the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern made up of paisley motifs. Typical of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, as the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. The foundation – warp and weft – is, however, usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs you will often find a blue weft thread. The knotting is very fine and the pile relatively high.

This Old Sarough is around 106 years old and a real collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this Old Sarough 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 qualities: thanks to the natural lanolin content of the wool, the surface repels droplets of water and is therefore naturally protected against dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Old Sarough are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

Condition

This Old Sarough has a story to tell. It was knotted around 1920. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good but unrestored condition. The edges are a little worn in places and could do with a repair. We have not restored this Old Sarough, because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course happily restore the rug for you. Either way, this Old Sarough 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.
