Sarough

There is only one rug like this in old rose and light blue: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. A knot density of around 300,000 knots per m² makes the elaborate workmanship visible – right down to the finely worked details. At 79 × 71 cm it is well placed as a small accent rug. It shows just as well in the entrance area or the bathroom. Colouring and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character that no other rug shares.

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.

Material

The pile of this Sarough was made from cotton. The cotton plant is grown in most rug-producing countries and is therefore very popular for rug making.

The weft threads of this Sarough are made of wool. Cotton was used for the warp threads.

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Sarough. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 1990. It has been cleaned thoroughly and is in good but unrestored condition. We have not restored this Sarough, because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course gladly restore the rug for you. Either way, this Sarough will bring you joy 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.
