About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
This hand-knotted rug comes from Dorokhsh, in the Khorasan region of northeastern Iran, 309 x 212 cm (10'2" x 6'11"). The area gives its name to Sholeh weavings, named for the Persian word for flame, known for bold, graphic pattern work in deep red and strong blue. This piece takes that palette but a quieter path: a classic all-over Mahi lattice, without a medallion.
What you see
A deep navy ground fills the field edge to edge, covered in small rosettes of brick red and cream, linked by serrated leaves into a dense Mahi lattice. There is no medallion, no open ground: the repeat runs evenly from corner to corner, reading almost as a single woven texture. Salmon-pink, coral and dusty-rose accents run through the field, touched with ochre and steel-blue. A wide brick-red border, framed by narrower navy floral guard stripes, closes the rug and holds the dark field in place.
How it was made
Hand-knotted on a cotton foundation, the pile is wool finely blended with silk. Knot counts run to 321,000-380,000 per square metre, dense enough to keep each rosette and serrated leaf sharp-edged rather than blurring into its neighbour. Silk spins thinner than wool, and weaving it in let the weaver draw the lattice with unusual precision for a rug this size — months of work, by the density alone. Somewhere in the field, the weaver has signed the piece, a mark rarely left without reason.
At home
This size suits a dining table, or a sofa group in a living room. The navy ground holds its own against dark furniture; the red border lifts a paler floor. The pile is low, tightly clipped, dense and firm underfoot — made for daily use rather than for keeping for best. In evening light, the small red and cream rosettes keep catching the eye, wherever it falls.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 309 × 212 cm (6.55 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 6.55 m² that is roughly 2.1 to 2.5 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.
