Vintage Handmade Persian Lori Rug – 288 × 140 cm (9 ft 5 in × 4 ft 7 in)
Traditional Tribal Design • Fine Lamb’s Wool • Natural Abrash • Professionally Hand Washed
This striking handmade Persian Lori rug is a beautiful example of the bold tribal weaving tradition of the Lori people of south-west Persia. Hand knotted approximately 40–50 years ago, it features a dramatic oversized geometric medallion surrounded by colourful tribal motifs, creating a rug full of character and authenticity.
Measuring 288 × 140 cm (approximately 9 ft 5 in × 4 ft 7 in), this versatile rug is an excellent choice for a living room, dining room, study, bedroom or entrance hall.
The vibrant terracotta-red field is complemented by a large ivory tribal medallion and framed by a striking ivory border decorated with colourful geometric rosettes. The rug also displays beautiful natural abrash, where subtle variations in colour occur naturally during the dyeing process, giving each piece a unique appearance and adding to its charm.
Hand knotted from fine lamb’s wool on a cotton foundation, the rug offers a soft yet durable pile suitable for everyday family living. It has been professionally hand washed and is clean, fresh and ready to enjoy immediately.
