The Lori — also known as the Lur — are one of the great tribal weaving peoples of Iran, from the Lorestan and Fars provinces of western and southwestern Iran. Lori rugs are celebrated for their bold, expressive geometric designs, rich natural wool, and a raw vitality that sets them apart from the more formal city and village rugs of the Persian tradition.
This piece features an all-wool construction — both pile and foundation — which gives it a particularly soft, supple handle and a depth of texture that is characteristic of the finest tribal weaving. The cream ground and geometric patterning give the rug a fresh, open quality that works beautifully in both contemporary and traditional interiors.
A rare and characterful vintage tribal rug — the honest craft and bold spirit of the Lori people in a beautifully woven piece.
