Antique Persian Doroksh

From the celebrated Doroksh hills of Iran’s Khorassan province, this commanding red Persian rug is a masterpiece of nineteenth-century carpet‑making tradition. Hand-knotted in robust wool, its expansive field imparts rich reds blended with subtle blue and ivory accents, woven into complex botanical and geometric motifs framed by fine borderwork. Originally intended as grand oversize pieces for elite interiors, Doroksh rugs were part of a revival under the Qajar dynasty—an elevated reimagining of 16th-century Persian art, executed on monumental scale using asymmetric Persian knotting and plush high-knot densities. Elegant yet bold, this antique red Persian rug transcends mere floorcovering to become an immersive design statement. Its soft wool pile invites touch, while the composition visualizes centuries of Persian design—a true heirloom quality work that anchors large rooms with cultural gravitas and designer-level presence.
