Sauj Bulagh refers to rugs woven by Kurdish tribes in the Mahabad region of northwestern Persia during the 19th century, known for saturated colours and distinct geometric iconography.

These textiles typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, dyed using natural organic materials such as madder root, indigo, and walnut husks.

Authenticity is assessed through structural characteristics such as asymmetrical knots, hand-spun wool inconsistencies, natural dye variations, and authentic age-related wear.

Such pieces function well as grounding elements in minimalist or eclectic spaces, adding texture, historical depth, and rich colour palettes to modern rooms.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist washing when necessary, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent dye degradation.
