About This Kordi
Where it comes from
This is a Kordi, also written Kord, a tribal weaving from the Kurdish-inhabited arc of western and north-eastern Iran, from Kurdistan and Kermanshah through to Khorasan. It measures 292 x 150 cm (9'7" x 4'11"). Kordi rugs are known for a robust wool-on-wool construction and a character that ranges from bold geometry to softer floral drawing depending on the weaver's own region. Here that geometry yields, just once, to a quiet centre.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, dense with mahi lattice, diamond after diamond. At its centre a large stepped medallion breaks that rhythm, outlined in ivory and filled with soft dove-blue, rose and camel, with touches of petrol and coral at its edges. Each corner of the border carries a comb-like device in ivory, easy to read as a stylised tree. The border itself is wide and very dark, almost navy-black, patterned with ivory palmettes and vine, flanked by narrow cream and rust guard stripes.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, symmetric knots tied onto a cotton foundation, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, solid and workmanlike rather than extreme. Working from memory rather than a drawn plan, the weaver held the lattice steady across the field and kept her one variation for the medallion at its centre. The pile is hand-spun wool, 14 mm deep, and hand-spinning never produces a perfectly even thread, so the red ground carries small shifts of tone, abrash, that a mill-spun yarn would not show.
At home
This is a rug for a hallway or entrance run, laid along a console table or the length of a corridor. The brick red holds its warmth even where daylight is scarce, lifting a stone or pale wood floor at any hour. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use, and the ivory medallion catches whatever light passes through the hall.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 292 × 150 cm (4.38 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
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 4.38 m² that is roughly 0.9 to 1.1 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.
