About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori, also written Luri, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, 226 x 164 cm (7'5" x 5'5"). Lori weavers are traditionally known for bold, simplified motifs, knotted from memory rather than drawn to a plan on a loom. What sets this piece apart is that it leaves that boldness aside altogether, working instead in quiet, soft-edged blocks of colour across an open field.
What you see
The ground is a warm camel brown, left largely unbroken but for a scatter of tonal blocks laid across it without symmetry. A soft ivory-tan rectangle sits left of centre, its edges blurred rather than drawn. Further blocks in a darker rust-brown appear to the right and low in the field, placed as though by instinct rather than plan. There is no medallion, no repeating device, and no border ornament to frame the composition, so the eye simply moves from one block of colour to the next.
How it was made
The wool was spun by hand before it was dyed and knotted, which gives the yarn its thickness and its quiet sheen, and leaves faint vertical striations across the pile where it was sheared. Knotted at around 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre onto a natural wool warp, the pile sits low and even at 11 millimetres, dense enough to hold its shape yet soft underfoot. Working without a cartoon, the weaver set each block down from memory, which is why the edges answer to no fixed drawing.
At home
A rug this size suits a seating area or a bedroom rather than a large dining table, and the camel ground will warm a pale floor while holding its own comfortably against dark wood furniture. Underfoot the pile is soft yet dense enough for daily use, hand-spun wool that wears well under regular footsteps. As daylight crosses the room, the rust and ivory blocks shift gently against the camel, settling into the kind of quiet that a busier tribal pattern rarely allows.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 226 × 164 cm (3.71 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 3.71 m² that is roughly 740,000 to 930,000 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.
