Antique Kilim, Luri Tribes, Luristan, West Persia.

19th century
Description

I guess I sound boring when I say how much I love all these wonderful weavings but the fact is, I do love them all and I only buy what I love! So I can say that I 'love' this magnificent kilim, woven by Luri tribes in western Persia at the end of the 19th century.

The colours are quite beautiful - soft reds, blues and a stunning green surrounding a fabulous yellow central, three lozenge design. The yellow has a lovely abrash from a soft pale yellow to a slightly darker yellow, where the weaver has run out of one shade and continued with another shade.

A great kilim in excellent condition.

Size: 2.44 x 1.60m (8' 0" x 5' 3").

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Deep indigo, soft madder and vegetal greens: dyed before synthetic colours became standard.
Natural colour shifts across the yellow ground: hand-spun wool and small batch dyeing.
Slight irregularities in the stepped lozenges: woven on a portable ground loom.
Slit-weave flat tapestry structure: traditional nomadic tribal craft.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Persian tribal kilim rug originates from the Luri tribes of Luristan in West Persia and dates from 1880. Woven from wool, the flatweave features soft reds, blues, green and yellow tones with an abrash running through the central yellow field, accompanied by white fringing along the top and bottom edges. The design incorporates three interconnected cream diamond medallions set against a geometric field, surrounded by serrated and hooked borders, geometric step lattice patterns, and repeating geometric motifs along the outer bands. It measures 244 cm high by 160 cm wide. Positioned on the floor, the rug suits living rooms, bedrooms, or studies as a practical floor covering that adds traditional geometric character to interior spaces. The flatweave construction allows for easy placement under furniture or in high-traffic residential areas where warmth and pattern are desired.

FAQs

Luri kilims are traditional flatweave textiles crafted by the nomadic Luri tribes of West Persia, specifically originating from the Luristan region. These rugs are distinguished by bold geometric compositions, central diamond medallions, and saturated colour palettes created with plant-based dyes.

Traditional Persian kilims are hand-woven using hand-spun wool for both the warp and the weft yarns. The flatweave structure is produced using a slit-weave technique, resulting in a durable, pileless fabric with identical patterns visible on both sides.

Authentic antique kilims display natural variations in yarn colour known as abrash, along with subtle irregularities in weave tightness characteristic of hand-loomed production. The absence of synthetic backing and presence of hand-bound selvedges further confirm traditional tribal craftsmanship.

A geometric tribal kilim provides strong visual grounding and visual texture when paired with natural timber floors, stone, or modern concrete surfaces. Placing a flatweave rug in a neutral contemporary room adds warm tones and historic graphic balance.

Clean flatweave wool rugs using suction-only vacuuming to prevent the loosening of hand-woven fibres. Rotate the piece regularly to ensure even wear across the surface, and address liquid spills immediately using clean, dry absorbent cloths without rubbing.
