This antique Luri saddle bag face dates from 1900 and originates from the Luri tribes of Luristan in West Persia. Hand-woven from wool in a Persian tribal style, it displays a repeating geometric diamond lattice pattern with lozenges in red, dark blue, cyan, and orange, finished with short fringed borders at the top and bottom edges. The pile remains full throughout following professional hand washing and de-dusting, with all ends and sides secured. Measuring 54 cm high by 76 cm wide by 0.5 cm deep, excluding fringes, the rug adapts to various practical applications in a modern interior. Suitable for use as wall decoration, placement on the floor, or draped over the backs of chairs, settees, or arm facings, this piece introduces authentic tribal pattern and rich colour to a home. The geometric motifs and textile construction suit both traditional settings and modernist interiors seeking a distinct artisan accent. The secure edges and durable wool construction allow for everyday placement in living spaces, studies, or hallways where a small, characterful textile creates an immediate visual anchor.

FAQs

A Luri saddle bag face, or khorjin face, is a hand-woven textile originally created by nomadic Luri tribes in western Persia to form the decorative front panel of double transport bags.

Luri weavers traditionally utilise hand-spun sheep wool for both the warp and pile, coloured with natural vegetable dyes such as madder and indigo.

Authentic Luri textiles feature hand-spun wool, bold geometric diamond motifs, saturated natural dyes, and structural variations characteristic of nomadic hand-weaving.

These small woven textiles can be displayed as decorative wall hangings, mounted inside custom frames, or laid across surfaces as accent textiles.

Vacuum carefully using suction only without a rotating brush bar, keep away from direct sunlight to preserve natural dyes, and consult a specialist restorer for deep cleaning.
