About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, a tribal weaving from the nomadic herding communities of the Zagros mountains in Iran, also written Luri, measuring 277 x 199 cm (9'1" x 6'6"). The Lori and its cousin the Gabbeh are known for bold, confident geometry and grounded, self-assured colour, knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan. Here that tradition has been turned toward something unusually quiet: a grid.
What you see
A calm sandy cream field fills the rug, ruled through with a fine taupe-grey grid that divides the ground into a clean array of squares, plain and unornamented within. There is no medallion, no scrolling border of vine or blossom, only the window-pane lines repeating steadily across the field. A border in the same taupe-grey, close in tone to the grid itself, runs around the edge and holds the design together without ever competing with it. The overall effect sits closer to a minimalist design rug than to the bolder ornament this weaving type is usually known for.
How it was made
The pile is handspun wool rather than machine-spun, twisted by hand before it ever reached the loom, and handspun yarn is never perfectly even in thickness or tension. Knotted at a density of around 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, with the pile kept low at 11 mm, that natural unevenness shows through in the grid lines themselves, each square outlined a shade darker or lighter than the one beside it. The regularity of the design and the irregularity of the hand meet in the same line, and neither cancels the other out.
At home
At 277 x 199 cm this is a rug for a dining room, sitting comfortably under a table and its chairs, or for a living room beneath a sofa group. The sandy cream ground will warm a pale floor and hold its own quiet presence even in a room with limited daylight, while the taupe grid stays restrained enough never to argue with the furniture around it. Underfoot the weave is dense, flat and firm rather than deep, so it settles well under table and chair legs and takes daily use without concern. Watch it through the day and the grid lines shift faintly in tone as the light moves, a small, constant reminder that this was drawn by hand, not by a machine.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 277 × 199 cm (5.51 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 5.51 m² that is roughly 1.1 to 1.4 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.
