About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, also written Luri, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of southern Iran, measuring 250 x 202 cm (8'2" x 6'8"). The Lori and Gabbeh weavers of this region are known for bold, simplified motifs knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan. This particular piece carries none of that — no motif at all, only colour.
What you see
The field opens in warm camel brown, moving in continuous vertical stripes of cream and rust that run the full length of the rug. There is no medallion to settle the eye and no border to frame it, only a narrow paler band along the selvedge. The stripes themselves are not straight-edged but shift in tone as they run, so the whole field reads like a plank of timber, grain and all, rather than a woven pattern.
How it was made
That effect comes from the wool itself. Lori weavers spin their own yarn by hand and dye it in small batches with plants and minerals gathered in the mountains, so no two skeins take the colour the same way. Knotted at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre with an 11-millimetre pile, the rug is dense enough to hold its structure yet loose enough in tone for those batch-to-batch shifts to show through as vertical abrash, rather than knotted out as a fixed design would.
At home
A piece this quiet suits a living room with plain, cooler furniture, where the camel and rust tones warm the space without competing for attention. Laid under a sofa group, it holds the room together rather than announcing itself. The eleven-millimetre pile is soft and slightly springy underfoot, sturdy enough for daily use, and as daylight moves across it the stripes shift from light to dark through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 250 × 202 cm (5.05 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 5.05 m² that is roughly 1.0 to 1.3 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.
