RUG NAME: Dorokhsh
GALLERY: Dorokhsh
CATEGORY: Persian
AGE: late 19th century
ID(Jozan): no. 5271
DESCRIPTION: Dorokhsh carpet, from the city of Dorokhsh in Khorasan, in northeast Iran, 9´2” x 12´8”, probably workshop production, dating to the late 19th century or a bit earlier. The field design looks like a William Morris carpet pattern and it’s possible that inspiration for it went either West or East. Dorokhsh pile weaving is mostly dyed with cochineal, and it is likely that madder-dyed pieces, such as this one, pre-date the introduction of that blue red insect-derived dye. Complete and in very good condition. Carpets like this one hardly exist, both because they are quite old and have a very soft weave.
