This is a Khorasan rug, also written Khorassan, hand-knotted in the northeast of Iran, measuring 278 x 211 cm (9'1" x 6'11"). The region has woven carpets for over two millennia and is known for grand medallion compositions where bold red meets deep blue. This piece steps away from that: there is no medallion, and the ground opens into warm ivory rather than the customary red.
Warm ivory covers the field from edge to edge, carrying a dense scrolling vine that spreads without a centre, palmettes and serrated leaves turning over one another in rust-red, dusty rose, sage green, camel and powder blue. The pattern is continuous, the eye moving outward rather than settling on a middle point. A wide navy border closes the composition, its own floral scroll picking up the same palette and giving the open field something firm to rest against.
The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted onto a cotton warp at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, a range that gives real definition to the scrolling vine without pushing toward extreme fineness. Hand-spun wool takes dye with slight unevenness from thread to thread, which is why the coloured motifs carry a soft sheen while the ivory ground stays matte around them. At 12 mm the pile holds that contrast clearly rather than flattening it into a single surface.
This rug suits a dining table or a seating group in a living room. The ivory ground lifts a room short on daylight and holds its own against dark wood. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, made for daily use rather than display. As light moves across it, the sheen on the coloured motifs catches first, then settles into the calm of the ivory.

Fine quality weave
At 278 × 211 cm (5.87 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.
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 5.87 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
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.
