About This Kordi
Where it comes from
A Kordi rug, also written Kurdi, hand-knotted by Kurdish weavers across western and north-eastern Iran, 285 x 135 cm (9'4" x 4'5"). The type is known for a sturdy, robust structure and for a range running from bold geometry to soft floral work depending on the region. This piece sits at the bold end, and reads unusually clean and graphic for it.
What you see
A deep navy field, shifting in places to near black, carries a large stepped medallion in brick red and ivory, its pendants reaching up and down the field. Small floral sprigs sit lightly across the ground rather than crowding it. Mustard spandrels fill the corners, their warmth pushing hard against the cool field and pulling the eye straight to the centre. A red border, set with small navy and cream diamonds, closes the design at roughly a sixth of the total width.
How it was made
Kordi rugs are knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan, using the symmetric knot on a wool foundation that gives them weight and durability. The pile is hand-spun wool from locally grazed sheep, and hand-spun wool takes dye unevenly between batches — which is why the field shifts from indigo to near black instead of sitting flat. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, there is enough density for the medallion to hold a clean edge, while the ground around it stays open rather than crowded.
At home
At 285 x 135 cm this suits a hallway, long enough for a proper corridor and narrow enough to leave room to pass. Where daylight is scarce, the mustard spandrels catch what light there is, and the navy field holds firm against dark woodwork or a run of coats and boots. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm at 12 mm, built for a floor crossed daily. The abrash keeps shifting with the light, never quite the same rug twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 285 × 135 cm (3.85 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 3.85 m² that is roughly 770,000 to 960,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
