About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, a tribal weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, 230 x 174 cm (7'7" x 5'9"). Lori rugs are knotted from memory on a portable loom, without a drawn plan, and are usually prized for bold, confident motifs in strong colour. This piece uses the same hand for something far quieter.
What you see
The field opens in a warm sand beige, shifting gently from column to column where the handspun wool has taken the dye a shade lighter or darker. Across it sits a plain grid of beige squares, each one outlined in a fine, speckled brown line rather than filled with pattern. There is no medallion, no animal, no traditional Persian motif, just the lattice, held inside a narrow beige border that barely lifts from the field around it. From across a room it reads first as texture, and only on a closer look as a grid.
How it was made
Lori weavers spin their own wool, thicker and less even than a mill yarn, and it is this that gives each square its faint stippled surface rather than a flat, printed evenness. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, the knotting is close enough to hold every grid line straight, so the design stays crisp rather than blurring into something looser. The pile stands 11 millimetres deep, still built one hand-tied knot at a time, and it is this depth that carries the sand tones and lets the faint banding show through rather than disappearing under a shallow, sheared finish.
At home
At this size the rug suits a living room seating area or a bedroom floor rather than a long dining table. Against pale flooring the sand beige warms the room without competing with furniture in stronger colours; against dark wood it holds its own quietly instead of vanishing. Underfoot the handspun wool is thick and soft, dense enough for daily use rather than a room kept for best. As daylight crosses it through the day, the gentle column-by-column shift in tone is what you keep noticing, long after the grid itself has become familiar.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 230 × 174 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 0.8 to 1.0 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.
