Late 19th Century Antique Persian Doroksh Carpet

About the Item

A Persian Classic woven in the city of Doroksh. The pattern and colors can be mistaken for a 19th century persian Mahal/Sultanabad rug but the weave proves otherwise. Ivory field, black border with other earthy color. Can be considered a great investment and amazing addition to anyones antique collection. 10'5'' x 13'5'' Then northeastern Persian rug weavers produced what is known as the Doroksh carpet. The carpet is named after the Doroksh hills in the Khorassan province. These antique rugs stood in for a revival of the area’s ancient rug making tradition. The antique Persian rug weavers drew on traditional and classic rug design to create high-end, high quality 19th century versions of their 16th century models. The artisans always intended for the Doroksh rugs to get sold in some of the region’s great cultural capitals. These rugs were made from high-quality materials like wool (and cotton, at a later date) with traditional rug patterns that had intricate patterns. Doroksh rugs are most known for their close hand weaving. The weavers of Doroksh 19th century rugs used the asymmetric or Persian rug knot to get a high knot density. They then created the intricately detailed patterns for which these rugs have gained recognition. These patterns are usually made up of a medallion in the center, placed on a plain red or cream field, which is then surrounded by repeating borders. The borders came from the Khorasan tradition. For example, the arborescent and the paisley boteh (a motif in the shape of a droplet). While these area rugs closely adhere to tradition, antique Persian Khorasan rugs still are extremely diverse. Many antique carpets have whimsical animal designs accents like birds, for example.
