About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, also written Luri, from the Zagros mountains of Iran, 292 x 219 cm (9'7" x 7'2"), knotted by nomadic hands from memory rather than from a fixed plan. Lori weavings are usually known for bold colour and confident geometry. This one takes the opposite path, and it is that plainness itself which sets it apart.
What you see
The field is a warm apricot-beige, and at first glance it looks almost entirely bare, with nothing at its centre to hold the eye. Look again and a faint cloud-like movement runs across it, pale striations rising and falling within the same warm tone. Only at the edge does the rug speak: a thin dotted line, and beyond it a narrow band of small dark arrow-shaped motifs in charcoal, framing the field without ever crowding it.
How it was made
That quiet field comes from hand-spun wool, knotted at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, a density open enough to let the yarn's own character show through. Hand-spun wool is never perfectly even, and it is the slight variation in its thickness that produces those faint striations across the apricot ground, rather than a flat, uniform colour. The pile stands 12 mm deep, giving the surface enough body to carry that plainness with weight rather than looking bare, and the whole piece is hand-knotted, new enough to be walked on rather than kept for best.
At home
A rug this size suits a living room, laid under a sofa group where the apricot tone will warm a pale floor and hold its own against darker furniture without competing for attention. Underfoot it is dense and soft, the kind of pile built for daily use rather than for being protected. As daylight moves across the room over the course of a day, the striations catch and shift, and the field never quite looks the same twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 292 × 219 cm (6.39 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 6.39 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.6 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.
