About This Loribaft
Where it comes from
A Loribaft from the Zagros mountains of Iran, 315 x 243 cm (10'4" x 8'0"), knotted by nomadic hands from memory rather than a drawn cartoon. Lori (also written Luri) and Gabbeh weavings are known for bold, simplified motifs in thick, hand-spun wool, each one a personal record rather than a repeat. This piece turns that same free hand toward order.
What you see
The field is a muted sage beige, its tone shifting gently across the rug as hand-dyed wool does. Nine compartments, each framed in brick red, divide the field into a tidy grid, close to a garden plan. Inside each frame sits a dark navy square, stippled with fine cream dots that never quite repeat from panel to panel. Where the panels meet, four small mustard-gold floral medallions break the grid with warmth. A broad brick-red border, set with rows of ivory rosettes, closes the design.
How it was made
This rug is hand-knotted, its pile spun by hand from wool rather than machine-spun, which leaves the yarn slightly thick and uneven. That same irregularity keeps the dotted pattern inside each navy square from settling into a fixed rhythm, so no two compartments read quite alike. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, the weave is tight enough to hold the grid's straight lines while leaving the wool's texture visible. A 12 millimetre pile, knotted onto a cotton warp, gives the surface real depth underfoot.
At home
A rug of this size sits well under a dining table, or beside a sofa in a living room. The sage field stays calm under a busy table, while the brick-red border holds its own against dark wood. Underfoot the pile is soft and deep, dense enough for daily use rather than careful preservation. Through an afternoon, the mustard medallions catch the light first, then let it go.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 315 × 243 cm (7.65 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 7.65 m² that is roughly 1.5 to 1.9 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.
