About This Moud | Dorokhsh | Sherkat-e Farsh
Where it comes from
This is a Dorokhsh, a classical garden-panel rug from the Khorasan weaving villages of eastern Iran, closely related to the neighbouring Moud production, also written Mud, and often sold under either name. Measuring 295 x 198 cm (9'8" x 6'6"), it belongs to a tradition prized for refined, disciplined drawing and a soft surface sheen that Khorasan weavers are particularly known for.
What you see
At first sight the field reads as a tightly ordered grid: ivory, brick red and dark green compartments in careful alternation. Look closer and each small panel holds its own motif - a cypress, a paisley boteh, a rosette, a slender vase - no two quite alike, though the grid holds them together. Around this field runs a wide ivory border of dense floral vine scrollwork, closed by narrow guard stripes of navy and dusty rose, roughly a sixth of the rug's width.
How it was made
Achieving that variety without losing the grid's symmetry takes a fine, controlled knot: this piece carries 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, tied by hand onto a cotton warp. The pile is wool worked with silk, and the silk gives the surface its light, even sheen and keeps each compartment's outline crisp rather than blurred into its neighbour. At this density, working through many individually drawn panels without a single repeat takes months at the loom, and the weaver has signed the finished piece.
At home
This rug suits a living or dining room, large enough for a dining table or a seating group without overwhelming either. The ivory ground lifts a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the brick red and green keep the eye moving from panel to panel. Underfoot the pile is dense, smooth and firm enough for daily use, its light sheen shifting gently as the light moves through the room.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 295 × 198 cm (5.84 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 5.84 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.
