About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, one of the nomadic weavings of the Zagros mountains in south-western Iran, made by weavers who work from memory rather than a fixed plan. The piece measures 189 x 150 cm (6'2" x 4'11"), a size suited to a single seating group or a smaller room rather than a grand hall. Lori weaving is known for bold, simplified motifs and confident colour, closer in spirit to Gabbeh than to the courtly designs of Persian city workshops.
What you see
The field is a warm saffron gold, and across it runs a crisp rust-brown grid, dividing the surface into rectangular cells. Look closer and each cell holds a faint scatter of speckled dots, something like a small floral trace rather than a proper motif. There is no medallion, no centre to the design at all, and the effect is closer to a modern textile print than to a traditional Persian layout. A narrow ivory-beige border frames the field, offering just enough contrast to hold the pattern in place without competing with it.
How it was made
Look again at the grid itself and you will see the lines are not quite straight: they waver slightly, drawn freehand rather than ruled, because there was no cartoon to follow, only the weaver's own memory of the pattern. The wool is hand-spun, for warp and pile alike, which gives the surface its slightly uneven, faintly textured character rather than a machine-smooth finish. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, with an 11 mm pile, the weave is close enough to hold that grid crisply while keeping the low, flat surface typical of Lori work, matt rather than lustrous, and pleasant underfoot rather than plush.
At home
A rug this size sits well in a living room seating area, under a coffee table and a pair of chairs, or in a study. The gold will warm a pale floor and hold its own against dark wood furniture without shouting. Underfoot it is dense, smooth and even, made for a room that gets used rather than admired from the doorway. As the light shifts through the day, the rust grid seems to sharpen and soften in turn, and that quiet, hand-drawn irregularity is the thing you keep noticing.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 189 × 150 cm (2.84 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 2.84 m² that is roughly 570,000 to 710,000 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.
