About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, measuring 152 x 97 cm (5'0" x 3'2"). Rugs of this kind are woven by memory rather than to a plan, and they are known for bold, uncomplicated motifs set down with a confidence that owes nothing to a workshop cartoon. Here that confidence takes an unusually disciplined form: a grid.
What you see
The field is a warm golden yellow with an apricot warmth to it, crossed by a fine amber grid that divides it into an even lattice of squares. There is no medallion and no crowding of motif, only the field and the lines drawn across it, framed by a narrow sandy-beige border that adds little more than a quiet edge. Look closer and the grid is not quite mechanical: the lines waver very slightly, drawn rather than ruled, and here and there a fleck of grey-blue sits in the yarn, a trace of the wool as it was spun. The overall effect reads as architectural, though nothing about its making was.
How it was made
The wool was hand-spun before it was dyed and knotted, which is what gives the surface its gentle vertical striation and its soft, faintly lustrous sheen rather than a flat, uniform finish. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre the grid holds its line clearly without being forced into total regularity, which is exactly why the lattice keeps its hand-drawn character instead of hardening into something printed. An 11mm pile sits low and even underfoot, dense enough to define the pattern crisply while still carrying the softness of the spun wool through to the surface.
At home
At just over a metre wide, this is a rug for a smaller room or a considered spot within a larger one: beside a bed, in front of a reading chair, or in a study where its grid can sit quietly under a desk. The golden field will warm a pale floor and hold its own against dark wood alike, and the low, even pile takes daily footsteps without complaint. In shifting light the amber lines catch and soften by turns, and the small grey-blue flecks in the yarn reveal themselves only slowly, a detail the room will keep offering back.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 152 × 97 cm (1.47 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
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 1.47 m² that is roughly 300,000 to 370,000 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.
