About This Lori
Where it comes from
This is a Lori rug, also written Luri, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, measuring 215 x 157 cm (7'1" x 5'2"). Lori weavers work from memory rather than a drawn plan, and the type is prized for confident, grounded colour and patterns that never repeat exactly twice.
What you see
A deep navy field holds the eye first, scattered across it in even rows of small stars and crosses in salmon-pink and gold, no two quite alike. There is no medallion, only this steady rhythm running corner to corner. Around it runs a border unusually wide for the size, banded in cream, salmon-pink and olive green, its diagonal rosettes moving faster than the field beneath. In the upper left corner, a small patch of solid red seems to break that rhythm.
How it was made
The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, left thick at ten millimetres for real depth underfoot. Hand-spun yarn is never perfectly even, and that slight irregularity gives the small stars their soft, hand-drawn edge rather than a printed crispness. At 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre the density is modest, yet the border's frequent colour changes asked for far more concentration than the plain field. The piece carries the signature of its knotter, Heidarian, unusual for weaving normally passed down anonymously.
At home
This is a rug for a bedroom, or a quiet corner of a living room, somewhere it can be taken in whole rather than lost under furniture. Against a pale floor the navy grounds the room while the pink and gold stars keep it light; against darker wood the cream and olive border holds its own, and underfoot the wool is dense and soft, made for bare feet rather than careful stepping around, its hand-spun pile catching the light differently as the day moves.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 215 × 157 cm (3.38 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 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre; across 3.38 m² that is roughly 540,000 to 680,000 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.
