This antique Luri tribal carpet from south Western Persia dates to 1900 in the Persian Tribal style. The hand-knotted all-wool piece has a soft, shiny finish with natural, mellow dyes in terracotta red, cream, and dark blue. The visible details comprise a terracotta red field set with central cream stepped diamond medallions, geometric tribal symbols, latch-hook borders, and fringe ends. Touches of old repair are present alongside good overall condition with minimal wear, and all ends and sides are secured. The rug measures 229 cm high, 142 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. It functions as an area rug in an English Country House setting to warm timber flooring or anchor a seating group.

FAQs

Luri rugs are traditional hand-knotted textiles crafted by the nomadic Lur tribes of southwestern Persia. They are recognised by their geometric patterns, stepped diamond medallions, and saturated palettes derived from natural dyes.

Luri carpets are constructed entirely from hand-spun sheeps wool on a durable wool warp and weft foundation. The yarn is coloured using plant and mineral dye sources to produce shades of red, blue, ivory, and ochre.

Authentic Luri rugs display a thick wool pile, slightly asymmetrical tribal motifs, and a flexible wool structure. The weaving often reflects minor irregularities consistent with portable horizontal looms used by nomadic tribes.

A Luri rug functions as a central anchor in minimalist or contemporary settings, introducing warm tones and geometric contrast. Place it beneath central living room seating or dining arrangements to ground neutral furniture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment to prevent pulling the hand-knotted wool fibres. Blot liquid spills immediately with a damp cloth and warm water, seeking professional rug specialists for deep cleaning.
