Persian Sarouk

£4,295£5,195In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent, large Persian Sarouk carpet — entirely hand-knotted from premium 100% hand-spun wool, celebrated worldwide for its dense, plush pile, enduring quality, and rich, traditional aesthetic. Sarouk rugs are among the most sought-after Persian carpets, prized for their deep, saturated colours and exceptionally hard-wearing construction. This piece features a commanding central medallion set against a vivid red field brimming with intricate floral sprays, vines, and palmettes — the signature Sarouk style of lavish, dense ornamentation. The wide, multi-layered border perfectly complements the field, carrying the same rich colour palette and floral motifs for a look of timeless grandeur. At 410 × 305 cm (14ft × 10ft), this is a truly impressive room-size carpet — ideal for a substantial living room, formal dining space, grand hallway, or principal bedroom. Its generous proportions and deep, warm tones bring instant presence and character to any interior. Woven entirely by hand over many months by skilled artisans, this is a genuine heirloom piece built to last generations.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 190 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,682,730 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 13 months.

How that is worked out: 161 in × 120 in × 190 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,682,730 — that is 410 × 305 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
