About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
A Lori rug from the Zagros mountains of Iran, 224 x 170 cm (7'4" x 5'7"). Lori weavings come from nomadic households in the same tradition as Gabbeh, and are usually known for their confidence — strong colour, bold simplified motifs, pattern knotted from memory rather than drawn. This piece takes the quieter road that tradition also allows.
What you see
The field is a warm camel, and at first glance it appears to hold nothing at all: no medallion, no repeating motif, just colour. Look again and a nested rectangular frame emerges close to the edge, drawn in a darker walnut-brown, running parallel to a border of the same tone. Fine vertical striping moves through the field from selvedge to selvedge, so the camel ground is never quite flat — it shifts in narrow bands, giving the whole piece a handmade breathing quality rather than a printed evenness.
How it was made
That striping is called abrash, and it comes directly from how the wool was made ready for the loom. The pile is hand-spun from natural wool, dyed in small batches over time, so each new length of yarn carries a slightly different depth of colour; knotted row by row, those small shifts become the vertical bands you see across the field. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre and an 11 mm pile, the wool sits thick and slightly raised rather than pressed flat, which is what gives the surface its soft, almost brushed appearance under the abrash. The frame near the border is drawn with the same hand-spun yarn, kept just dark enough to hold the composition without ever competing with it.
At home
A rug this restrained earns its place in a room by doing almost nothing, which is precisely the point. In a living room or a bedroom, laid under a seating group or beside the bed, the camel ground will warm a pale floor without pulling attention from furniture or art around it, while the frame gives the eye something quiet to settle on. Underfoot the pile is dense and forgiving, soft enough for bare feet, firm enough for daily use. As daylight moves across the room through the day, the abrash catches it in shifting bands, so the same plain field looks faintly different from one hour to the next.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 224 × 170 cm (3.81 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 3.81 m² that is roughly 770,000 to 950,000 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.
