About This Lori
Where it comes from
This is a Lori, also written Luri, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, 214 x 160 cm (7'0" x 5'3"). The type is known for bold, simplified motifs in thick hand-spun wool, knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan. Here that free hand has taken on a garden design, an ordered grid more often associated with the settled workshop tradition.
What you see
The field is a deep navy blue, calm and dense against the paler border. Across it runs a tidy grid of small rectangular compartments, each holding its own floral spray in brick red, cream, salmon, olive and mustard. A wide ivory-ground border encloses the field, filled with red-brown palmette and rosette forms taking up close to a fifth of the rug's width, a band of light around the dark garden within. A small dark cartouche sits in the corner, likely a signature woven into the field.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool, hand-knotted onto a cotton warp at 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre, with a pile height of 10 millimetres, giving the surface its slightly uneven, matte hand-spun texture. No cartoon lies behind the grid: each compartment was drawn afresh from memory, so the garden holds together as a whole while no two compartments are quite identical. Keeping that order without a plan to follow is the real labour behind this piece.
At home
This is a rug for a living room seating area or a bedroom, at home under a sofa group or beside the bed. The navy field holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor, while the ivory border keeps it light. Underfoot the pile is dense and springy, wool made for daily use rather than for show, and as daylight moves across the room each small floral compartment catches it a little differently.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 214 × 160 cm (3.42 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 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre; across 3.42 m² that is roughly 550,000 to 680,000 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.
