About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, measuring 285 x 206 cm (9'4" x 6'9"). Lori and Gabbeh weavers, working from memory on portable looms, are usually known for bold, simplified motifs in confident colour — yet this piece carries none. Its entire character rests on colour and yarn alone, plain where the tradition is normally loud.
What you see
The field opens in a warm sand beige running toward camel, with no medallion, no drawn motif, nothing set against it. Look closer and the surface reveals a gentle vertical heathering, lighter and darker threads running through the wool like grain through timber. Scattered among them are a few darker brown fibres and flecks of pale cream, left in rather than dyed out. A narrow border in a slightly deeper beige closes the field, close enough in tone that it barely announces itself as a border at all.
How it was made
That heathering comes from the wool itself. Hand-spun rather than machine-spun, the yarn varies in thickness and tone from one length to the next, and a weaver working from memory lets those variations run rather than sorting them out, so the colour drifts gently across the rug instead of forming a pattern. Around 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, together with a modest 11mm pile, hold the surface flat and firm, with a fine ribbing that reads almost like a flatweave underfoot even though every row is hand-knotted.
At home
A rug this quiet suits a room that already has enough happening in it. Under a seating group in a living room, or at the foot of a bed, the sand and camel tones will warm a pale floor and settle comfortably against darker wood or leather without competing for attention. Underfoot it is dense, flat and firm, made to be walked on rather than kept for best. Move a lamp, or let the afternoon sun cross it, and the striations catch the light one stripe at a time, so the surface never quite looks the same twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 285 × 206 cm (5.87 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 5.87 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 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.
