Dorokhsh Sholeh Rugs

Khorasan Flatweave with Flame and Character

The Story

Dorokhsh Sholeh represents a distinctive flatweave tradition from the Khorasan region of northeastern Iran. "Sholeh" means flame or blaze in Persian, an apt name for these striking flatwoven pieces, which are known for their bold, flame-like designs and a graphic, expressive character quite different from conventional knotted Khorasan rugs.

These flatweaves combine the visual richness of the Khorasan color tradition, deep reds, strong blues, warm earth tones, with the flexibility and texture of flatweave construction. The result is a piece with real visual drama that works equally well as a floor covering, wall hanging, or decorative textile.
