About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
This is a Dorokhsh rug, a Khorasan weave from the Birjand villages of South Khorasan in eastern Iran, closely related to the neighbouring Moud production and often traded under either name. The type is valued for elegant, refined drawing and a calm surface that suits well-lit rooms. This piece measures 316 x 210 cm (10'4" x 6'11").
What you see
A deep navy field carries a dense scatter of red and cream florals, gathered at the centre into a pale round medallion. What draws the eye further out are four paisley forms set into the corners, drawn far larger and bolder than the florals around them, so the composition reads as much through these corners as through its centre. A wide brick-red border, filled with small floral rosettes, closes the field firmly on all sides.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, the pile handspun wool on a cotton warp, at a density of 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre - fine enough to carry a paisley's curling line cleanly, without the tighter knotting a silk pile would allow. At 12 millimetres the pile holds that drawing crisply, which is why the corner motifs read as bold shapes rather than further ornament. Twenty to forty years have settled the navy and brick-red into an even depth, and the finish stays graphic rather than lustrous, matte rather than shining.
At home
This rug suits a dining room under a table or a living room in front of a sofa group, where the navy holds its own against dark wood or upholstery, and the red and cream keep the surface lively against a pale floor. Underfoot the handspun wool is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than for show, and as daylight moves across it the matte surface stays steady, the medallion and its four bold corners simply holding their place.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 316 × 210 cm (6.64 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 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre; across 6.64 m² that is roughly 1.1 to 1.3 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.
