About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
Lori-Pars rugs come from nomadic weavers in the Zagros mountains of Iran, where wool is spun and dyed by hand and patterns are carried in memory rather than drawn on paper. The type is loved for bold colour and confident, simplified geometry. This piece, 198 x 154 cm (6'6" x 5'1"), takes the same hand and the same loom in a different direction: no motif at all, just a fine, even field of stripes.
What you see
The ground is a warm sand beige, and across it run narrow pinstripes in dark chocolate brown, straight and regular enough to read almost like corduroy from a few steps back. There is no medallion, no border ornament, nothing to gather the eye toward a centre. The border itself is plain and close in tone to the field, so it sits as a quiet frame rather than a design in its own right. Look closer and the stripes are not quite mechanical: they run with a slight, hand-drawn waver, tightening and loosening a fraction as the weaver worked from memory rather than from a fixed count.
How it was made
That waver is the fingerprint of how it was made. Lori weaving is knotted on a portable loom without a cartoon to follow, and a line kept straight by eye over nearly two metres will always carry small human variation rather than a ruler's precision. The pile is hand-spun wool, thicker and slightly uneven compared with machine-spun yarn, which is why each stripe stands a little proud of its neighbour and catches light along a gentle ridge rather than lying flat. At around 225,000 knots per square metre and an 11 mm pile, the weave is dense enough to hold that ribbed texture firmly in place underfoot.
At home
In a bedroom, or beside a favourite reading chair, this rug asks for nothing and gives a great deal. The sand and brown sit comfortably against pale or dark floors alike, warming the former and quietly answering the latter. Underfoot it is dense, low and firm, well suited to a room that gets daily use rather than one kept for show. As daylight moves across it through the day, the ribbed stripes catch and release the light in turn, so the surface never looks quite the same twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 198 × 154 cm (3.05 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 3.05 m² that is roughly 610,000 to 760,000 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.
