About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
A Dorokhsh, from the weaving villages of South Khorasan in eastern Iran, close neighbour to Moud and often spoken of in the same breath. This piece measures 280 x 207 cm (9'2" x 6'9"). The type is prized for its refined drawing and a quiet surface sheen, qualities that set it apart from the plainer village work found further west, and for patterns built around the fine diamond Mahi lattice rather than bolder tribal forms.
What you see
The field is a warm camel, filled edge to edge with that diamond lattice, small and precise, in touches of rose, soft green and slate blue. Set over it is a scalloped navy medallion with pendants above and below, its outer points drawn as elongated, serrated leaves so the whole shape reads more like a sunburst than a plain roundel. Floral spandrels fill the corners, and around it all runs a wide brick-red border of scrollwork and palmettes, held in by narrow navy and cream guard stripes. Because the ground stays pale, the medallion and border sit on top of the design rather than taking it over, which is unusual for a pattern that is normally carried on red.
How it was made
The pile is wool blended with silk, knotted by hand onto a cotton warp at a density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, then clipped to a low 12 mm and finished smooth. Silk threads spin far finer than wool, so where they run through the pile the knots pack tighter and catch the light differently, which is why the sheen gathers exactly where you would expect a weaver to want it noticed: along the medallion's edge and the outlines of the motifs. At this density the lattice can be drawn small and even across the whole field, which is what keeps the pattern light rather than heavy. The piece is signed.
At home
At 280 x 207 cm this rug sits well under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, and the camel ground will warm a pale floor without needing dark furniture to hold its own against. Underfoot the tight, low pile feels smooth and firm, built for a room that gets daily use rather than one kept for best. As daylight moves across it through the day, the silk in the pile catches along the medallion and the motif outlines, so the rug seems to shift very slightly from one hour to the next, quietly, never demanding notice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 280 × 207 cm (5.80 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 5.80 m² that is roughly 1.9 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.
