Late 1800's Geometric Lori - Nomadic Persian Rug

About the Item

Stunning Late 19th Century Lori Rug 5' 3" x 7' 9" Incredibly attractive piece of Persian culture, hand woven by the legendary nomadic tribe the Lores. These ancient people trace their lineage back to ancient Mesopotamia and have weaving for centuries. The pile of this rug is comprised of Persian wool raised, sheared, dyed, spun and wove by nomads trekking across the country. These wool threads are knotted onto a strong goat hair foundation. Goat hair foundations are sturdier than wool or cotton but aren't as common, so an example such as this is quite sought after. Unaware of trends to come 130 years later, the designer of this rug truly created something timeless. Radiant earth tones of oranges, browns and blues are harmoniously incorporated into an attractive geometric design. Designs such as these pair well with all types of decor and floors. Despite being around 130 years of age this piece is still in great shape. The pile is low and even but it still has a striking appearance. This rug is a testament to the quality of these pieces and it will surely continue to be beautiful for another 100 years. This piece, like the rest of our collection, was hand-picked by Persian Rug expert and Shiraz native, Jason Dadras. Each piece was aqquired through the relationships he forged around the world. Our rugs are ethically sourced and have been legally imported.
