This is a Lori-Pars rug, a tribal weaving from the nomadic communities of the Zagros mountains in Iran, measuring 189 x 153 cm (6'2" x 5'0"). Lori weavings, also written Luri, are known for confident colour and patterns knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan. Here that confidence is expressed differently, through a quiet, architectural grid rather than bold colour.
The field is a warm sand beige, its tone shifting faintly in soft strié variation. A crisp brown grid divides it into rectangular panels, with no medallion and nothing floral or figurative to interrupt the geometry. Small flecks of golden yellow sit within the panels, warming the sand from within. A narrow border in a slightly deeper mocha brown closes the composition, close enough in tone to read as a quiet frame rather than a pattern of its own.
The pile is handspun wool, knotted by hand onto a natural wool warp at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre. Handspun yarn is never perfectly even, and this gives the grid its faint, hand-drawn irregularity rather than the straightness of a printed line, and gives the field its strié shimmer. At 11 millimetres the pile is kept low, letting a design this fine and linear read clearly rather than blur into a deep, soft nap.
A rug this size suits a bedroom, laid beside the bed or under a low chair. Against a pale floor the sand and mocha tones warm the room without raising its temperature, and the grid brings quiet order rather than severity. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use. As daylight crosses the room, the strié catches faintly and the golden flecks come and go, a small constant pleasure.

Fine quality weave
At 189 × 153 cm (2.89 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.
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 2.89 m² that is roughly 580,000 to 720,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
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.
