About This Khorasan
Where it comes from
This is a Khorasan, also written Khorassan, a rug type from the weaving region of northeastern Iran, measuring 283 x 195 cm (9'3" x 6'5"). Khorasan rugs are known for large-scale compositions built around a bold medallion, usually a strong red set against deep blue. This piece follows the same ground but keeps its centre deliberately quiet.
What you see
The field is a warm ivory, densely covered in fine floral scrollwork that runs edge to edge without a break. Rosettes, small sprays and curling vine repeat across the surface in dusty pink, steel blue, olive green and touches of black, and only on closer look does a soft central rosette gather out of the pattern, more a thickening of the scroll than a distinct medallion. A wide brick-red border, filled with the same scrolling palmettes, frames the field, held in by narrow navy guard stripes.
How it was made
The pile is handspun wool on a cotton warp, hand-knotted at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre. Handspun yarn varies slightly in thickness, and that variation is what gives the surface its fine, matte hand rather than any sheen. Clipped to 12 millimetres, the pile is close and even, fine enough to carry the scrollwork clearly, but the density here favours texture over sharp contrast, which is why the rosette settles into the field instead of standing apart from it.
At home
At this size the rug suits a dining room, set beneath the table, or a living room in front of a sofa group. Ivory warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, leaving the brick-red border to do the framing. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, ready for daily use. As light crosses the pile through the day, the scrollwork catches it first, the rosette following quietly behind.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 283 × 195 cm (5.52 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 5.52 m² that is roughly 1.1 to 1.4 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.
