About This Khorasan
Where it comes from
This is a Khorasan rug, hand-knotted in the northeast of Iran and also written Khorassan, 345 x 245 cm (11'4" x 8'0"). Weavers from this region are known for scale and for grandeur - deep-set medallions, Herati fields, red balanced against blue across a wide expanse of ground. This piece carries the size and the fine drawing of its region but leaves the grand medallion behind.
What you see
The field is a warm ivory, covered edge to edge in a dense scrolling vine of small florals in steel blue, dusty rose, terracotta, olive and brown, with almost no ground left bare. There is no medallion to anchor the eye. A small rosette sits at the exact centre, more a quiet mark than a formal centrepiece, and the vine carries on around it as though it were not there. The border returns to the same ivory ground, a wide band of salmon florals held between narrow steel-blue guard stripes, so the frame reads as a continuation of the field rather than a contrast to it.
How it was made
The wool is hand-spun and knotted by hand onto a cotton warp, at a density of 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre. That density is what lets a weaver draw the vine's small turns and rosettes without them blurring into one another, which matters more here than in a medallion rug, since there is no centrepiece to carry the design and every part of the field has to hold its own drawing. At 12 millimetres the pile is clipped low enough to keep that line sharp underfoot, and the matte finish, with only a light sheen, keeps the ivory calm rather than glossy. Keeping a field this dense this even from corner to corner is months at the loom, not weeks.
At home
At 345 x 245 cm this is a dining room or living room rug, sized to sit under a table and its chairs or hold a seating group without spilling past it. The ivory ground lifts a room with pale floors and plain furniture, while the salmon and steel-blue in the border keep it from ever looking bare against darker pieces. Underfoot it is dense and firm, the wool clipped close enough for daily use rather than a rug to be spared it. Walk around it and the eye keeps finding another turn in the vine - never a medallion to settle on, always one more curve to follow.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 345 × 245 cm (8.45 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 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre; across 8.45 m² that is roughly 3.2 to 3.7 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.
