Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Lori carpets are traditional hand-woven textiles created by the Lor tribe in western Iran. They are characterised by bold geometric motifs, diamond-patterned medallions, and rich natural colour palettes derived from organic dyes.

These rugs are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable wool or cotton warp and weft structure. The wool is dyed using vegetable and mineral pigments, providing deep reds, dark blues, and natural cream tones.

Authentic Lori weaving exhibits hand-knotted construction visible on the underside, slight structural asymmetry, and traditional tribal motifs such as repeated diamond lattices and latch-hook symbols. The presence of natural abrash, or subtle colour variation in the wool yarn, also indicates traditional dyeing techniques.

A tribal rug works as a focal point when placed beneath neutral furniture settings, anchoring wooden flooring in living rooms or dining areas. Combining the bold geometric motifs with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a balanced, textured interior aesthetic.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush attachment prevents dust accumulation within the pile fibres. Prompt spot cleaning with cool water and mild detergent, alongside professional rug cleaning every few years, ensures the wool fibres remain preserved.
