About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
A Dorokhsh, from the Khorasan weaving villages around Birjand in eastern Iran, sister settlements to Moud and often named alongside it in the trade. This piece measures 279 x 206 cm (9'2" x 6'9"). Khorasan work of this kind is prized for a particular combination: drawing fine enough to hold its shape at any distance, and a surface that carries a soft sheen rather than a flat matte finish.
What you see
The field is a warm sandbeige, filled edge to edge with a Mahi lattice so finely scaled that the pattern stays sharp right up to the centre, where it gives way to a lobed medallion in red and pale blue. Navy spandrels sit in all four corners, picking up the medallion's colours and drawing the eye back to a firm, symmetrical frame. A wide brick-red border carries a meandering floral vine, held between narrow guard stripes in steel blue and cream, and against the pale field this border reads as a clear, confident edge rather than a heavy one.
How it was made
That crispness is a matter of construction as much as drawing. The pile is wool blended with silk, and silk fibre is finer than wool, so it takes a tighter, cleaner knot without thickening the yarn. At a density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, and a pile kept to 12 mm, the weaver had the resolution to keep the lattice legible instead of letting it blur into the medallion, which is exactly what gives this rug its polished, drawn-with-a-steady-hand look. Hand-knotted on a cotton warp and signed by the workshop, it is a piece made to a plan and carried through with real discipline.
At home
At this size, the rug sits comfortably under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, and its sandbeige ground is generous with a pale floor, warming the room without competing with the furniture around it. The brick-red border gives it enough weight to hold its own against dark wood or dark upholstery. Underfoot the pile is dense and fine, firm rather than plush, and stands up well to daily use rather than needing to be kept for best. As daylight moves across the room, the silk in the pile catches it quietly, and the lattice seems to shift and settle again with every pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 279 × 206 cm (5.75 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 5.75 m² that is roughly 1.8 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.
