About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, also written Lori-Pars, from the nomadic weaving of the Zagros mountains in south-western Iran, 238 x 175 cm (7'10" x 5'9"). These are pieces knotted from memory on a portable loom, without a drawn plan, and they are known for bold, simplified geometry rather than the dense floral patterns of the cities nearby.
What you see
The field is a warm camel, broken by thin outline stripes into large rectangular panels, more grid than layout around a medallion. There is no central motif; instead a strong vertical abrash runs through every panel, shifting the colour up and down within each square. On the right side one panel breaks the pattern completely, its tone dropping into a darker rust-brown that unsettles the otherwise even camel ground. The border stays narrow, close in tone to the field, holding the grid, not framing it.
How it was made
The wool here was spun by hand before it was dyed, and hand-spun yarn never takes colour as evenly as machine-spun wool. Small variations in the fibre and in each dye batch show as the weaver worked down the loom, and that is the vertical abrash running through every panel. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, tied over a wool warp with an eleven-millimetre pile, the rug is dense enough to carry that shifting colour without ever looking accidental.
At home
This is a living-room rug, suited to a seating group or a sofa. The camel ground sits easily against pale or dark furniture, and the darker rust panel gives the eye somewhere to land. Underfoot the wool is dense and springy, made to be walked on rather than kept for best. As daylight crosses the room, the abrash shifts from panel to panel.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 238 × 175 cm (4.17 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 4.17 m² that is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 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.
