Lori Royal

There is only one rug like this in golden beige and dark brown: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. At roughly 90,000 knots per m², the work involved is considerable, as you can see in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. Its 197 × 75 cm make it a natural hallway runner. It also cuts a fine figure in an entrance hall or on a landing. Colour and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

Origin

Lori rugs are a finer version of the Gabbeh, which was traditionally knotted by the Lurs. The Lurs are a tribal people in south-western Persia (also known as Loristan). Lori (or Luri) rugs are also referred to as Loribaft. The added syllable "baft" means roughly "knotted". Translated, Loribaft therefore means Lur knotting.

Lori rugs traditionally have inventive geometric patterns in colourful designs. Modern Loris are usually plainer these days, with monochrome designs. Even so, you still come across traditional, stylised and geometric motifs from everyday nomadic life, such as goats, camels, dogs, plants or people. The geometric pattern and the friendly colours create a pleasant, warm atmosphere at home.

The pattern of this rug is adorned with horizontal stripes and flowing colour gradients. It is faintly reminiscent of the signature striped designs of the Italian fashion house Missoni.

Material

This particularly fine, hand-knotted Lori has an exceptionally dense pile and an even surface that is not as grainy as that of a Gabbeh or of other Lori rugs. The wool used for the pile of Lori rugs is especially high in quality and rich in natural lanolin. They are wonderfully cosy and hard-wearing. Traditionally, Lori rugs – like the Gabbeh – were used for sleeping on. They invite you to sit and sprawl out in the living room, yet they are also excellent in hallways and dining areas.

The warp and weft yarns of Lori rugs are traditionally made of new wool, which is hand-spun and dyed with natural dyes. The hand-spun wool is what gives the Loris their soft surface. Hand-spun wool is always a little irregular. During dyeing, the natural dyes are taken up to differing degrees. This makes the rug look more lively, giving rise to what are known as colour shifts (abrash), in other words light and dark shadings of colour. These changes in the tone of the pile yarn always run across the length of the Lori Royal and make the rug forgiving of dirt.

The weft and warp threads of this Lori Royal are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.
