About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of southwest Iran, 232 x 166 cm (7'7" x 5'5"). Lori, also written Luri, rugs are usually knotted from memory in bold, simplified motifs and confident colour, close cousins of the Gabbeh. This piece stands in that same tradition but takes it somewhere quieter: there is no motif here at all.
What you see
The field is a warm camel brown, shading toward sandy beige, and it runs unbroken from edge to edge. There is no medallion and no border proper - the same tone simply meets a narrow flat kilim finish at the rim, with nothing drawn to interrupt it. What holds the eye instead is the yarn itself: distinct vertical stripes of abrash travel the full length of the rug, lighter and darker bands of brown alternating like grain running through wood.
How it was made
That striping comes directly from the wool rather than from any design. Each hank was hand-spun and coloured in small batches with dyes drawn from mountain plants and minerals, so no two lengths of yarn take the colour in quite the same way; knotted row by row, those small differences stack into the long vertical bands across the field. At a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre the weave holds a firm, even surface, and an 11 mm wool pile gives the colour room to do the work that a carved motif would normally do elsewhere.
At home
In a bedroom, or a quieter corner of a living room, this rug settles rather than announces itself. Against pale oak or a plain grey floor the camel tones bring warmth without needing a pattern to do it, and against darker furniture the brown holds its own instead of receding. Underfoot the handspun pile is soft and slightly ribbed, forgiving to bare feet, and dense enough for daily use without complaint. As daylight crosses the room through the day, the abrash catches it differently stripe by stripe, so the same plain camel field never quite reads the same way twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 232 × 166 cm (3.85 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 3.85 m² that is roughly 770,000 to 960,000 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.
