About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, also written Luri, from the nomadic weaving tradition of Iran's Zagros mountains, measuring 231 x 173 cm (7'7" x 5'8"). Lori work is known for bold, simplified geometry knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan, and for colour that carries the piece rather than any border or medallion. Here that boldness takes an unexpected turn: there is no traditional motif at all.
What you see
The field opens in a warm camel brown, broken into sand beige, soft grey-taupe and muted rust-brown blocks, with pale cream patches set among them. Rather than a repeating pattern, the surface reads as an irregular patchwork of solid rectangles, laid out like a grid of sanded wood planks. There is no framing band: the blocks run straight to the edge, so the eye moves across the whole field rather than settling on a centre or border.
How it was made
The wool was hand-spun before dyeing, which never gives perfectly even colour, then knotted at 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre with a pile kept low at 11 millimetres. Within each block that unevenness shows as a fine striation, lighter and darker threads sitting side by side in the same tan or taupe. The result is a colour that looks poured rather than printed, each block alive with its own tonal movement.
At home
A rug this size sits well in a living room, under a sofa group or a low table, or equally at the foot of a bed. Against pale floors the camel and sand tones bring warmth without shouting; against darker furniture the taupe and rust hold their own. The pile is dense enough for everyday use, soft underfoot rather than plush, and as daylight moves across it the striations catch the light differently through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 231 × 173 cm (4.00 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 4.00 m² that is roughly 800,000 to 1,000,000 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.
