About This Kordi

Where it comes from

This is a Kordi Ghotschan, also written Kordi Quchan, a Kurdish tribal weaving from the Quchan district of North Khorasan, where Kurdish tribes resettled centuries ago and kept their own design language within a new region's palette. At 304 x 170 cm (9'11" x 5'7"), it is a fusion piece: Kurdish geometric vocabulary rendered in the warmer earth tones of Khorasan rather than western Kurdistan's deeper reds.

What you see

The ground reads as a deep brick red, though on the left the field lightens to a warm salmon, the two tones meeting across the width. Over this sits an all-over lattice of diamonds in dark navy-grey, each cell outlined in cream, laid edge to edge with no medallion to anchor it. Rather than one wide border, the lattice is framed by several narrow guard stripes, ivory, rust, mustard and indigo, carrying octagons and eight-pointed stars, taking up about an eighth of the rug's width.

How it was made

The rug is hand-knotted with a symmetric knot on a wool foundation, at a density of 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, solid tribal work rather than fine city knotting. The pile is hand-spun, and hand-spun yarn takes dye slightly differently from one batch to the next, which is why the field shifts from salmon to brick red across its width, an abrash running through an otherwise regular grid, the mark of a lattice knotted from memory rather than from a fixed drawing.

At home

This rug suits a living room, placed under a sofa group and seen across the room rather than only underfoot. The brick red and salmon hold their own against dark wood, warming a pale floor without needing extra light. The wool is dense, tightly clipped and made to be walked on. As daylight crosses it, the shift from salmon to brick red catches differently through the day, so the lattice never quite settles into looking the same twice.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 304 × 170 cm (5.17 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.

Is this rug hand-knotted?

Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 5.17 m² that is roughly 660,000 to 830,000 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.
