Lori Rugs
This hand-knotted Semi Antique Lori rug from Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars, Isfahan, Markazi - 8x4 ft - presents a compelling Geometric composition woven in Red, Brown, a living record of
one of Persia's great regional weaving traditions. Natural dyes - derived from madder root, indigo plant, walnut husks, pomegranate rind, and other botanical and mineral sources traditional to Persian dyeing practice - produce
the warm, complex color palette that distinguishes authentic Persian hand-knotted rugs from synthetic or machine productions. These colors develop beauty and depth with every year of aging and use, growing richer and more
nuanced over the decades in a way that no synthetic dye can approach.
This Lori rug represents the authentic craft tradition of Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars, Isfahan, Markazi, where weavers have maintained the essential practices of Persian rug-making -
hand-knotting, natural materials, traditional designs - against the pressures of industrial competition and cultural change. Every knot in this rug was tied by hand by a skilled artisan working within a tradition of incomparable
cultural richness. It is a unique, irreproducible work of handcraft that will serve its owners beautifully for generations.
Lori rugs originate from Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars, Isfahan, Markazi in Persia, where a tradition of hand-knotted rug weaving has flourished for generations. The weavers of Lorestan,
Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars, Isfahan, Markazi have developed a distinctive regional style that combines the broad vocabulary of Persian decorative art with the particular cultural character of
their home landscape, producing rugs of genuine individuality and enduring quality that reward both immediate appreciation and extended living with them.
The design tradition of Lori weaving centers on geometric compositions rendered with the confident drawing vocabulary of nomadic, village weaving culture. Working within a shared design tradition while expressing individual
creative preferences, Lori weavers produce rugs of notable visual character - compositions that are simultaneously rooted in Persian cultural convention and freshly alive with the personality of their individual makers.
