Originally a functional 'khorjin' (saddlebag) used by Persian tribes, it has been repurposed into a charming and highly individual rug, boasting a rich heritage of over 50 years. Woven from high-quality wool and colored with natural vegetable dyes, this piece brings a palpable sense of ancient journeys and vibrant tribal life directly into your home. Its versatile size and striking visual appeal make it an ideal choice for adding a unique touch to an entryway, brightening a cozy reading nook, or creating a genuinely inviting and culturally rich atmosphere in your guest room.

From Utility to Art: Distinctive Design, Rich Colors, and Authentic Materials

This particular Sarough saddlebag rug immediately draws the eye with its charming and rustic design. The field is typically adorned with repeating patterns, possibly stylized floral motifs, 'boteh' (paisley), or geometric elements, all imbued with a spontaneous, tribal charm distinct from more formal Sarough workshop pieces. The dominant color, often a rich, deep red, forms a vibrant backdrop, beautifully accented by a harmonious palette of blues, greens, creams, and subtle browns within the intricate motifs and borders. What truly sets this rug apart is its origin as a khorjin, evident in its sturdy weave and the authentic feel of a piece that once served a practical purpose. It is meticulously handwoven from premium wool, ensuring both exceptional durability and a natural, inviting texture underfoot. The vivid hues are a direct result of natural vegetable dyes, which not only provide an incredible spectrum of rich, earthy tones but also ensure that the colors age gracefully, developing a beautiful patina over time, making each piece genuinely unique.
