About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, also called Loribaft, from the nomadic weavings of Iran's Zagros mountains, 294 x 199 cm (9'8" x 6'6"). Lori pieces are knotted from memory on portable looms, prized for bold, simplified motifs and confident, hand-spun colour. This particular piece takes that boldness and turns it inward, leaving its centre almost entirely bare.
What you see
The first impression is a wide, warm apricot-gold field, plain and unbroken, with no medallion to interrupt it. The eye moves outward to a wide ivory border, nearly a fifth of the rug's width, carrying a dense floral vine in brick red and mustard rosettes set on a scrolling steel-blue stem. A brick-red line and an ivory guard stripe hold the border to the field, so that nearly all the pattern's weight sits at the edge rather than the centre.
How it was made
The wool is hand-spun and hand-knotted, at a density of around 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre — moderate for a tribal weaving, enough for the weaver to work quickly from memory rather than from a drawn plan. Hand-spun yarn is thicker and less even than machine-spun wool, which gives the surface its soft, matte look rather than any sheen. At 11 millimetres the pile stays shallow, so the plain field and the border's fine vine both stay clearly legible rather than blurring into shadow.
At home
This rug suits a living room, sitting well under a low table or in front of a sofa. The warm gold field lifts pale floors and holds its own against darker furniture, while the border's blue and red keep the eye moving without crowding the centre. Underfoot the handspun wool is soft, springy and new, made for daily use. Watch the afternoon light cross the open field and catch the vine at its edge.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 294 × 199 cm (5.85 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 5.85 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 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.
