About This Lori-Kashkouli
Where it comes from
This is a Kashkuli runner, also written Keshkuli, from the Qashqai tribes of southern Iran, 194 x 82 cm (6'4" x 2'8"). Kashkuli weavers are known within the Qashqai world for the finest knotting the tribe produces, and for filigree medallion patterns in harmonious colour. Here the medallion is set aside, and the design turns instead on a plain field held by a wide, densely worked border.
What you see
The eye meets a field of vivid, unbroken brick red, left open rather than carrying the medallion this weaving is known for. Around it runs a navy border of considerable width, close to a fifth of the rug on each side, packed with small botteh sprigs, dots and diamonds in mustard-gold, dark green, red and ivory. The result reads less as one pattern than as two fields side by side, calm against intricate, red against navy.
How it was made
That contrast is built into the weave. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, this hand-knotted piece runs well above ordinary tribal work, and the density is spent almost entirely on the border, where fine hand-spun wool lets the tiny botteh and dots hold their shape at a scale a coarser knot could not manage. The plain field asked for no such precision. A twelve-millimetre pile gives the wool a soft, matte surface, and the natural wool warp keeps the whole structure firm underfoot.
At home
At under a metre wide, this is a runner for a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed. The red warms a pale or stone floor and holds its own against dark furniture, while the navy border keeps its detail even where daylight is scarce. Underfoot the wool sits dense and firm. Walk its length and the border keeps turning up fresh sprigs and dots, long after the plain red field has stopped surprising you.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 194 × 82 cm (1.59 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
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 1.59 m² that is roughly 320,000 to 400,000 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.
