One of the the Finest Antique Luri Tribal Rug .Luri Tribes of Luristan. Qashqai/khamseh Interest

19th century
Description

This is one of the finest lur nomadic tribal rugs I have ever had !

It is simply a pleasure to look at and own it and more finer woven than many from this tribal group.

It's colours are stunning as are the many tribal motifs including the zoomorphic peacocks and the solitary human figure clearly a male !

The two ivory coloured medallions have a qashqai type central emblem clearly from elements of their qashqai neighbours but undoubtedly a luri weaving.

The sapphire blue ground and the yellow used throughout is a particularly attractive feature.

It is in excellent condition throughout. Even glossy pile,no repairs,reweaves,original side bindings and ends.washed and de-dusted.

A future investment piece.to find anything remotely comparable you have to go back in time and look at 30 year old catalogues and the like.

Size is 8 foot 1 inches by 4 foot 5 inches. 247cm X 135cm. Fringes not measured in size. All woollen construction. Wefts of terracotta, warp threads natural coloured wool.

From a private collection of very fine tribal rugs.

Luri rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles created by the nomadic and semi-nomadic Luri tribes of western Iran, predominantly in the Luristan region. These textiles are historically recognized for their bold geometric patterns, expressive symbolic figures, and indigenous weaving methods passed down through generations.

Traditional Luri rugs are hand-knotted using locally sourced, hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp and weft foundation. Dyes were traditionally extracted from natural plant and mineral sources, producing saturated shades of indigo, terracotta red, and ochre yellow.

Authentic pieces display a soft wool foundation, slight asymmetry in design execution, and natural dye variations known as abrash. Design characteristics include prominent diamond-shaped medallions, stylized animal or floral motifs, and dense tribal border work.

A tribal rug serves as an anchoring element in living rooms, dining areas, or studies, bringing geometric structure and rich colour into modern spaces. The saturated tones and graphic motifs complement mid-century wooden furniture, contemporary neutral sofas, and minimalist architectural details.

Regular maintenance requires vacuuming using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the wool fibres. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, dry cloth, and professional cleaning by a specialist textile restorer is recommended periodically.
