About This Khosro-Abad
Where it comes from
A Khosro-Abad, a village weaving from western Iran, in a size of 244 x 163 cm (8'0" x 5'4"). Villages of this kind sit between workshop and nomadic tradition, and the type is known for its honest, unpretentious geometry and for the natural sheen that hand-spun wool carries on its surface. What marks this particular piece is how deliberately that geometry has been drawn.
What you see
The field is a deep navy, packed edge to edge with a fine diamond lattice, each junction marked by a small floral rosette rather than left plain. There is no central medallion here; the pattern simply repeats, dense and even, across the whole ground. What stops it from reading as a single quiet tone is the border: a broad band, roughly a sixth of the rug's width, divided into rectangular panels in brick red and terracotta, each filled with its own floral or geometric device. Ivory fillers lighten the lattice, mustard-gold appears in small accents, and dusty light blue sits inside the border's cartouches. Against the navy field, that red frame reads with real force rather than the muted, single-colour look village pieces more often show.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted by hand onto a cotton warp at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, clipped to a pile height of 12 mm. Hand-spun yarn is never perfectly even in thickness, and it is that slight irregularity, together with the natural lanolin left in the wool, that gives the surface its soft, matte lustre rather than a manufactured shine. At this density the weaver could still draw the lattice tightly enough, and the border panels crisply enough, that the two hold their contrast rather than blurring into one another — which is exactly what a coarser village knot would not allow.
At home
At 244 x 163 cm this rug suits a seating group in a living room, or the floor beside a bed, where its full pattern can be read at once rather than half-hidden under a table. The navy holds its own against dark wood furniture and warms a pale floor without needing much help from the light. Underfoot it is dense and firm, a rug built for daily use rather than careful protection, and the hand-spun pile keeps its slight sheen as it wears. Morning light catches that lattice at an angle and the whole field seems to lift, the red border holding steady around it.
Khosro-Abad rugs are village-style pieces from western Iran, celebrating the charm of small-town weaving: honest geometry, traditional ornament, and a distinctly handmade character. Constructed on cotton foundations with the symmetrical (Turkish) knot in the regional Hamadan tradition.
Strong, hand-spun wool gives the surface a natural lustre and robust everyday durability. Geometric patterns and Herati motifs are rendered in warm reds and blues with authentic craft character, practical rugs that feel genuine rather than overly formal.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 244 × 163 cm (3.98 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 3.98 m² that is roughly 800,000 to 990,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
