About This Kordi
Where it comes from
This is a Kordi, a Kurdish tribal weaving from the wide western belt of Iran that runs from Kurdistan and Kermanshah through to Khorasan — also called Kord. It measures 293 x 174 cm (9'7" x 5'8"). Kordi weavers are known for bold geometry set against deep, saturated colour, knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red edging into black, and three diamond medallions run its length, chained rather than gathered round one centre. Each is drawn in a serrated camel-brown lattice, opening onto a smaller cream medallion with a floral rosette, flanked by small stylised trees. Pink striped panels fill the corners, their diagonal bands reading almost as a countermotif to the chain. A wide navy border, patterned with a red blossom repeat and edged in narrower red and cream stripes, closes the field without overwhelming it.
How it was made
Kordi weavers knot symmetrically, from memory rather than a cartoon, so a plan this deliberate — three matched medallions chained across nearly three metres — was carried in the hand, not read off paper. The pile is hand-spun wool over a cotton warp, worked at roughly 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre and clipped to about 15 millimetres. That is a modest density, yet enough to keep the serrated diamond edges sharp and the rosettes legible. Forty to sixty years of wear have kept the drawing intact.
At home
In a living room, this size settles under a seating group, the three medallions running its length rather than sitting underfoot as one motif. The near-black ground holds its own against dark wood, while the brick red and camel warm a paler floor. Dense, hand-spun wool feels springy and sturdy underfoot, made for daily use. In evening light, it is the cream rosette at each medallion's centre that catches first.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 293 × 174 cm (5.10 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 5.10 m² that is roughly 650,000 to 820,000 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.
