1900 - 1920
For Sale by Rug Addiction
Description

A lovely antique tribal rug, woven by the nomadic Lors circa 1920. The rug features a geometrical design on a rich terracotta field surrounded by an ivory border. Note the charming way the border design changes from the ends to the sides. A little battered and bruised which is reflected in the price but still a great tribal rug.

This rug has medium, age related wear, very slightly heavier in a couple of places (see photos). Slight losses to fringes and selvedges (see photos). Slight marks to small areas of red (see photos. These imperfections are reflected in the price and it has been professionally cleaned.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This Persian tribal area rug originates from the 1920 period and measures 220 cm high, 132 cm wide, 1 cm deep. The hand-spun wool rug has a rich terracotta field with a central dark blue stepped pole medallion, surrounded by an ivory border containing geometric latch-hook patterns and stylized rosette motifs. The visual details show fringed ends, varied border designs between the ends and sides, and small marks on areas of red. The textile contains visible medium age-related wear with slightly heavier wear in places, alongside slight losses to the fringes and selvedges. The piece fits well in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways as floor covering to add tribal character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Lori rugs originate from the Lur tribe of western Iran, recognised for bold geometric patterns, deep colour palettes, and stylized central pole medallions.

Hand-spun sheep wool is traditionally used for both pile and foundation, dyed using natural plant and mineral sources to produce rich reds, blues, and cream tones.

Authentic pieces feature a wool warp and weft structure, a soft and pliable feel, stepped geometric medallion motifs, and subtle weaver variations in symmetry.

Position the rug over hardwood flooring or layer it over neutral flatweave matting to anchor a seating group while adding texture and historic interest.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to equalize wear, and rely on professional wool-safe cleaning methods when required.
