About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
A Dorokhsh, one of the fine Khorasan weaves from the villages around Birjand in eastern Iran, 280 x 205 cm (9'2" x 6'9"). Dorokhsh rugs share their region with the better-known Moud, and the two are often spoken of together, but Dorokhsh has its own reputation for elegant, refined drawing and a soft surface sheen that comes alive as light moves across it. This piece carries a classic Tabriz-style medallion composition, worked with the precision Dorokhsh is known for.
What you see
The field is a calm ivory, covered in a fine diamond lattice of the Mahi, or Herati, pattern. Sitting on it is a scalloped medallion, and at its centre a pendant of a kind you do not often see: a sunburst in terracotta-orange, its outline drawn to sharp points rather than the rounded shape most medallions take. Navy marks the medallion's corners and repeats in the inner guard stripes, with touches of olive green, dusty blue and mustard scattered quietly through the lattice. A wide brick-red border carries the pattern outward, filled with floral scrollwork and palmettes, held at each edge by narrow navy and cream guard stripes.
How it was made
This is hand-knotted, at a density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, which is months of steady work at the loom and the reason the sunburst's points stay so crisp rather than softening into a curve. The pile is wool with a silk content, knotted over a cotton warp: silk spins finer than wool, so it takes a sharper edge and carries the light differently, which is where the surface gets its gentle sheen. At 12 mm the pile is kept low enough to hold that fine drawing, and the rug is signed.
At home
At this size the rug is built for a living room or dining room, under a sofa group or a table where its full field can be seen at once. The ivory ground will lift a room with darker furniture and take the edge off a pale floor, while the brick-red border gives it enough weight to hold its own. Underfoot the pile is dense and smooth, firm rather than soft, and made to be walked on. As light crosses the room through the day, it is the sunburst that keeps catching the eye.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 280 × 205 cm (5.74 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 5.74 m² that is roughly 1.8 to 2.2 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.
