About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
A Dorokhsh, from the Khorasan weaving villages near Birjand in eastern Iran, measuring 290 x 202 cm (9'6" x 6'8"). The type is prized for refined drawing and a soft surface sheen, and is usually built around a single garden medallion. This piece takes a different route, laid out instead as a grid of small garden panels.
What you see
The field reads first in soft rose-cream, broken into a neat grid of compartments, each holding its own motif rather than repeating one pattern across the whole rug. A tree stands in one panel, a paisley coils in the next, a rosette or a lattice floral in another, the colours moving between deep brick red, navy, sage green and cream as the eye crosses the grid. It has the feel of a sampler rather than a single composition. A wide ivory border, filled with dense flowering vine scrollwork and edged by thin navy and dark red guard stripes, holds the whole arrangement together.
How it was made
That sampler effect depends on precision, and precision is what this weave was built to give. At 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, on a cotton warp, the weavers had enough resolution to keep dozens of small motifs distinct rather than blurring into one another. The pile itself is wool with a silk content, and silk spins finer than wool, so it takes a sharper edge at the same density — which is why each panel keeps its outline crisp against its neighbours instead of bleeding into the next. At 12 mm the pile stays short enough to hold that definition. The piece is signed, which on a Dorokhsh of this quality is the weaver's own mark of a piece drawn and finished with care.
At home
A rug of this size sits well in a dining room, under and around a table, or anchoring a seating group in a living room. The rose-cream ground lifts a pale floor without overwhelming it, and the red and navy panels give it enough weight to hold its own against darker furniture nearby. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a short, tightly clipped pile that takes daily use rather than asking to be protected. Where the light moves across it through the day, the silk in the pile catches faintly, and the grid of panels seems to shift in tone from one hour to the next.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 290 × 202 cm (5.86 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 5.86 m² that is roughly 1.9 to 2.2 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
