This early antique Luri nomadic tribal rug dates from the nineteenth century and originates from the Lur tribes of Luristan in the Persian tribal style. The hand-knotted wool carpet measures 240 cm high by 150 cm wide with a 0.5 cm depth, displaying a dark navy and red palette with navy pile, almost black wool warps, and dark brown wool wefts. The field features three central stepped diamond medallions bordered by geometric tribal symbols, tribal pictograms including animals and the weaver herself, geometric borders, and fringed ends. Physical signs of age include some low pile and areas of wear across the surface, whilst the ends and sides remain secure following hand washing and de-dusting. This practical floor covering suits eclectic interiors, bohemian living rooms, studies, or hallways seeking authentic tribal character and historical textile interest in a home setting today.

FAQs

Luri rugs are hand-woven textiles crafted by nomadic Lur tribes of western Iran, known for bold geometric patterns, deep indigo and terracotta tones, and stylized tribal motifs.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic examples feature wool-on-wool construction, subtle natural dye variations known as abrash, stepped diamond medallions, and small tribal pictograms scattered across the field.

A tribal rug adds visual texture and colour to minimalist, mid-century, or bohemian interiors, functioning as an anchor piece for seating areas or living rooms.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to balance light exposure and foot traffic, and clean spills immediately using cold water and neutral detergent.
