About This Khorasan
Where it comes from
This is a Khorasan rug, also written Khorāsān, measuring 339 x 248 cm (11'1" x 8'2"), from the weaving region of northeastern Iran that has produced carpets for two thousand years. Khorasan is known for large, confident medallion compositions in which strong red is balanced against deep blue. Here there is no medallion, and the ground is ivory rather than the more usual red.
What you see
The first impression is of an ivory field covered edge to edge in fine floral scrollwork, with nothing at the centre to gather the eye. Mahi rosettes and serrated leaves repeat across the field in blue, rust, terracotta, olive and dark brown, close enough to read as one continuous pattern rather than separate motifs. Only at the border does the rug settle into one colour: a wide navy-black band, carrying the same floral scroll, framed on both sides by a narrow brick-red guard stripe against the pale field.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp, with a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre and a low pile of 12 millimetres. Hand-spun yarn is never perfectly even, and that gives the coloured motifs their soft sheen against the flatter, matte ground. At this density a weaver can draw small rosettes and leaves that stay distinct rather than blur together, and with no medallion to hold the eye, it is this clarity that keeps so dense a pattern legible.
At home
A rug of this size suits a dining room or a living room seating group. The ivory ground lifts a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the dense, even wool takes daily use in stride. As light moves across the room, the sheen on the motifs shifts against the matte ground, and the field never looks quite the same twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 339 × 248 cm (8.41 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 8.41 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.
