About This Dorokhsh
Where it comes from
A Dorokhsh, hand-knotted in the weaving villages of that name and neighbouring Moud, in the Khorasan region of eastern Iran, 283 x 200 cm (9'3" x 6'7"). The tradition is known for elegant, refined drawing built around the Mahi, or Herati, lattice, and for a surface sheen that gives the pattern a quiet polish rather than the flatter finish of plainer wool weavings.
What you see
The field is ivory, warmed slightly toward beige, and covered edge to edge in a fine, repeating lattice of tiny fish and rosettes. At the centre this lattice gives way to a medallion outlined not in a plain curve but in a distinct scalloped edge, almost cloud-like, echoed in the corner spandrels in the same navy and brick red. Colour surfaces sparingly within the lattice itself, in small notes of teal, olive, rose and dark plum, before the eye reaches the border: a broad band of brick red carrying palmettes and vinework, held between narrow guard stripes of navy and ivory.
How it was made
The pile is wool lifted with silk, knotted at 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre on a cotton warp. Silk spins finer than wool, and a weaver working it into the pile can draw smaller and sharper than wool alone allows, which is what gives this rug its close, exact lattice and the clean scalloped line of the medallion rather than a soft or blurred one. At 12 millimetres the pile sits low enough to keep that drawing crisp underfoot. The rug is signed, a small mark of the weaver's own regard for this particular piece.
At home
A rug of this size sits comfortably under a dining table or in front of a sofa, and this one earns either room. The ivory field lifts a pale floor without competing with it, and holds its own quite happily against dark wood or leather furniture, the brick red border doing the work of anchoring the pattern from the edge. Underfoot the wool and silk pile is dense, smooth and firm, built for a room that sees daily use rather than one kept for best. Where the light moves across it in the afternoon, the silk catches and lets the whole surface flicker gently, a quiet pleasure that has nothing to do with how carefully anyone is looking.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 283 × 200 cm (5.66 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 5.66 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.
