About This Lori
Where it comes from
A Lori rug from the Zagros mountains of south-western Iran, 152 x 100 cm (5'0" x 3'3"), sized for a small room rather than a grand one. The Lori and Gabbeh weavers of that region are known above all for confidence — bold, simplified motifs knotted from memory, no two alike. This piece belongs to that family, yet it takes the opposite path: instead of a bold motif, it offers almost none at all.
What you see
The field is a warm camel, left entirely open, with nothing drawn into it. All the incident sits in the border, a broad plum-brown band that takes up roughly a quarter of the width on each side, mottled through with flecks of rust and blue-grey rather than dyed to one flat tone. Between the plain field and the textured border, the eye has very little to do except look at the wool itself — a matte, softly striated surface with a visible vertical grain running through the pile.
How it was made
That surface is the direct result of hand-spun yarn: no two strands are quite the same thickness, so the pile catches light unevenly and reads as texture rather than sheen. The wool warp and hand-spun wool pile were knotted at 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre — a modest density by workshop standards, and deliberately so, since it leaves room for a thicker, 12mm pile rather than fine drawn detail. The mottling in the border comes from the same hand-spinning and small-batch mountain dyeing, so the colour shifts slightly from one pass to the next instead of sitting flat.
At home
At this size the rug suits a study, a reading chair, or a spot beside a bed rather than a large open floor, and the plain camel field will warm a pale wooden floor without competing with whatever furniture stands near it. Underfoot it is thick and soft rather than firm, a rug built to be walked on and to settle into daily use rather than be kept for best. As daylight moves across the room through the day, the striated wool and the mottled border shift very slightly in tone, which is, in a piece this quiet, exactly where the pleasure of it lies.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 152 × 100 cm (1.52 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 1.52 m² that is roughly 190,000 to 240,000 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.
