About This Khorasan
Where it comes from
This is a Khorasan rug, hand-knotted in the northeast of Iran, 340 x 247 cm (11'2" x 8'1"). Khorasan, also written Khorassan, is a region with two thousand years of weaving behind it, best known for expansive medallion compositions and rich Herati-derived florals set against bold reds and deep blues. This piece stands in that tradition but keeps its scale in check.
What you see
The field is a deep night-blue, close to black, covered edge to edge with fine floral vines in ivory, dusty pink, sage green, light blue and mustard gold. A small rosette medallion sits at the centre, but it barely raises its voice above the dense scrollwork surrounding it, so the eye moves across the whole field rather than settling on a point. A wide cream border, patterned with its own floral rankwork, frames the field and is closed in turn by narrow stripes of rust and dark blue, standing out clearly against the depth of the ground.
How it was made
Cotton forms the warp, and the pile is hand-spun wool, knotted at a density of between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre, enough to keep the vine outlines crisp rather than let them soften into the dark ground. Hand-spun wool takes dye with small variations along the length of each thread, and that is what gives the night-blue its quiet depth and the faint sheen across the surface. At 12 millimetres, the pile is kept low enough to hold this fine detail rather than blur it, a choice that suits a pattern built from so much small-scale work.
At home
A rug of this size sits naturally under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, in a dining room or a living room with space to take it in fully. Against pale floorboards the near-black field grounds the room; against dark furniture it holds its own rather than disappearing into it. The pile is dense and even underfoot, firm enough for a room in daily use rather than one to be kept for best. As daylight moves across it through the day, the mustard and rose notes in the vine work catch and settle in turn, so the surface never sits quite still.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 340 × 247 cm (8.40 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 8.40 m² that is roughly 3.7 to 4.2 million 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.
