About This Lori-Pars
Where it comes from
This is a Lori-Pars, also written Luri, a nomadic weaving from the Zagros mountains of Iran, measuring 193 x 146 cm (6'4" x 4'9"). Lori rugs are known for bold, confident colour and simplified geometric motifs, knotted from memory rather than from a plan. This particular piece takes the opposite path, choosing quiet over statement.
What you see
The field is a warm sand beige with golden undertones, close to a single colour rather than a pattern. Look closer and a faint vertical striping runs through the wool, the kind of gentle unevenness that recalls an abrash, though here it reads as texture rather than contrast. There is no motif anywhere in the field. A narrow border in a slightly darker khaki-tan frames the rug, barely different in tone from the field itself, more a quiet edge than a design element.
How it was made
Every strand of wool here was spun by hand before it was dyed with plant colour from the mountains, and hand-spinning never produces a perfectly even thread. That natural variation in thickness is what shows up as the faint vertical striping across the field, not a flaw but the trace of the hand that made the yarn. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre and an 11 millimetre pile, the weave holds its shape while the wool stays thick, soft and glossy underfoot.
At home
This size suits a bedroom, or a quiet corner of a living room where you sit close rather than cross it. The sandy tone warms a pale floor and settles quietly against dark furniture. Underfoot it is soft and deep, the pile made to be walked on rather than kept for best. In changing light the faint striping catches differently through the day, so the field never looks quite the same twice.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 193 × 146 cm (2.82 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 2.82 m² that is roughly 570,000 to 700,000 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.
