About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, also written Luri, from Lori-Pars in the Zagros mountains of south-west Iran, 283 x 204 cm (9'3" x 6'8"). Lori weavings come from nomadic households, made for daily use in the tent rather than to a workshop plan, and are known for confident colour and bold, simplified geometry rather than the dense floral detail of city weaving.
What you see
The field is a warm camel brown, divided by a crisp grid of darker taupe lines into rectangular panels, with lighter beige catching within each one. There is no medallion, no floral filler, only this stripped-back grid, giving the rug a graphic, almost architectural look. A narrow-to-medium border, only slightly darker than the field, frames the design without sharp contrast. The grid itself is not perfectly regular, with the lines appearing to widen a little toward the bottom rows - a hand at work rather than a ruler.
How it was made
This is hand-knotted, the pile hand-spun wool at 11 millimetres, on a natural wool warp. Hand-spun yarn is thicker and less even than machine-spun wool, and this is what gives the surface its lustrous, faintly striated texture. The knot count, 201,000 to 250,000 per square metre, is modest by workshop standards but right for a design of straight lines and flat panels rather than fine curves - the weaver's skill lies in keeping the grid true by eye, without a drawn cartoon to follow.
At home
This rug suits a dining room under the table, or a living room on a pale floor, the camel ground warming the space without competing against darker furniture. The quiet grid keeps its calm under daily use, and underfoot the hand-spun wool is dense and springy, sturdy enough for a room that sees real traffic. As daylight moves across it, the striations catch and let go, and the grid seems to shift very slightly with the hour.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 283 × 204 cm (5.77 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 5.77 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 million 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.
