About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, measuring 147 x 101 cm (4'10" x 3'4"). Rugs of this kind are knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan, and they are prized for bold, simplified motifs in confident, earthy colour. What sets this particular piece apart is a single unexpected note within that warmth: a panel of cool slate blue-grey, sitting where you would expect only brown and tan.
What you see
The field is a sandy, camel-toned brown, finely striated as if brushed by hand. Across it run three concentric rectangular frames, set side by side like a triptych, each built from pale beige-tan bands and a deeper rust-brown inner line. The two outer panels stay within that warm family, but the centre one breaks the pattern entirely, filled instead with a quiet grey-blue that has no equivalent elsewhere in the rug. A narrow beige-tan border, barely a tenth of the width, closes the composition without competing with it.
How it was made
The striations in the ground come from hand-spun wool, which never draws as evenly as machine-spun yarn and so carries small, natural variations along its length. Those variations are what give the field its living, brushed texture rather than a flat, printed one. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre and an 11 mm pile, the weave sits at a density typical of tribal work: firm enough to hold the drawing of the three panels clearly, loose enough to keep the wool soft and full underfoot. Nothing here was copied from a cartoon; the rhythm of tan, rust and that one grey-blue box was carried in the weaver's memory alone.
At home
At this size, the rug suits a study, a reading corner, or a spot beside a door where a small rug is asked to do a lot of work. The sandy brown grounds a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the grey-blue panel gives the eye somewhere quiet to rest. Underfoot it is soft and slightly deep, with enough density for a well-used corner rather than a museum piece. Watch how the light catches the striations through the day, and that centre panel keeps its cool, steady presence against the warmth around it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 147 × 101 cm (1.48 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
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 1.48 m² that is roughly 300,000 to 370,000 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.
