About This Kordi
Where it comes from
This is a Kordi runner, also written Kurdi, at 267 x 131 cm (8'9" x 4'4"), from the wide arc of Kurdish weaving across western Iran, from Kurdistan and Kermanshah into Khorasan. Kurdish rugs are built on a wool foundation with the symmetric knot, known for robust structure and a bold geometric character that can shift from one medallion to the next rather than repeat.
What you see
The eye lands first on a strong brick red field, then finds three stepped diamond medallions running down its length like a sequence rather than a simple repeat: two red on the outside, and between them one with a striking steel-blue centre. Around them the ground turns dense and dark, a near-black navy filled with small floral and geometric motifs. A wide red border, carrying a rosette vine, frames the whole field, held in by narrow dark blue pearl bands.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted with the symmetric knot on a cotton warp, the pile hand-spun wool rather than machine-spun. At 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, the density reflects a weaver working from memory over months rather than a factory drawing. Hand-spun wool never runs perfectly even, and that unevenness gives the field its faint ribbed surface and its natural abrash, the red shifting subtly in tone rather than sitting flat. At 12 mm the pile is substantial, the finish matte rather than shiny.
At home
This is a runner for a hallway or a landing, somewhere it will be seen in passing. The brick red holds its warmth where daylight is thin, and the dark ground forgives everyday marks. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, made to be walked on. Morning or evening, the blue medallion at the centre keeps catching the eye, a small break from simple repeat.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 267 × 131 cm (3.50 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 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 3.50 m² that is roughly 450,000 to 560,000 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.
