Semi-Antique Doroksh Rug
350 × 265 cm · Signed
An exceptional signed semi-antique Doroksh rug from the village of Doroksh in the famed Khorasan region of north-east Iran — a hand-knotted masterpiece in fine wool with a radiant central medallion and the signature of its master weaver.
A Signed Collector’s Piece
This outstanding semi-antique Doroksh rug comes from the village of Doroksh in the renowned Khorasan region of north-east Iran, woven in the second quarter of the twentieth century (c. 1925–1950). With its generous 350 × 265 cm format it is an imposing, highly decorative piece of considerable artistic and historical value. Especially noteworthy is the signature of the weaver, visible in the upper medallion area, which points to a workshop or known master weaver and adds to its collector value.
The Medallion Design
The design centres on a magnificent central floral medallion that blossoms in a radiant, star-like composition, surrounded by finely worked palmettes, vines and stylised floral motifs. The dense floral field and remarkable symmetry are hallmarks of the high-quality weaving tradition of Khorasan. The classic Persian composition is framed by several borders, including a broad main border of rosettes and sweeping vines.
Wool & Craftsmanship
The rug is hand-knotted from fine wool over a hard-wearing cotton foundation, with a pile of roughly 0.8 cm. It unites aesthetic elegance with remarkable durability — a piece made to be lived with for generations.
Colour
The palette is rich and classical: a dominant ground of deep carmine red, set against midnight blue outlines, with ivory for contrast and accents and antique gold-yellow through the medallion and floral detail. The colours have mellowed gracefully with age, giving the rug a warm, collected depth.
Presence in the Room
At 350 × 265 cm (9.28 m²) this is a generous large-room rug — a true 9 × 11 ft format:
- Living room: an imposing centrepiece that anchors a full seating arrangement.
- Dining room: ample room for a large table and chairs to sit entirely on the rug.
- Reception or office: a collector’s rug that brings history and gravitas to a grand space.
