About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug — sometimes written Luri — a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, made by weavers who carry a pattern in memory rather than on a drawn plan. It measures 193 x 152 cm (6'4" x 5'0"). The type is known for bold, simplified motifs and confident, hand-mixed colour, and this piece is a quieter example of that boldness.
What you see
The field is a warm sand beige, plain and open, with no border to close it in. Across it sits a simple grid of twelve squares in a medium walnut brown, three across and four down, spaced evenly as though set down by eye rather than measured. Look closer and the squares are not quite twins: most are solid, a few carry a faint speckled outline, as though the hand paused slightly differently at each one. The sand ground simply runs to a narrow, plain-toned edge, with nothing to distract from the grid itself.
How it was made
That grid is the work of hand-spun wool, knotted at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre over a natural wool warp — a respectable, workmanlike weight for a piece meant to be lived on rather than admired from a distance. Hand-spun yarn is never perfectly even in thickness, and it is that unevenness, together with weaving from memory rather than a cartoon, that gives the squares their slight variation instead of machine uniformity. At 11mm the pile sits low and flat, with a visible vertical grain in the wool and no sheen, which is exactly what lets a pattern this plain read as calm rather than bare.
At home
A rug of this size and restraint suits a study, a bedroom, or a quieter corner of a living room rather than a grand dining setting. The sand ground will warm a pale floor and hold its own quietly against darker furniture, without competing for attention. Underfoot it is firm and flat, hand-spun wool with enough density to take daily footsteps without complaint. As light moves across the room through the day, the grain in the wool catches differently square by square, so the grid never looks quite as fixed as it first appears.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 193 × 152 cm (2.93 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 2.93 m² that is roughly 590,000 to 730,000 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.
