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.

Material

This hand-knotted Lori rug has a dense, fairly high pile. The sheep's wool used for the pile of Lori rugs is particularly fine and rich in lanolin. Lori rugs are wonderfully cosy and hard-wearing. Traditionally, Lori rugs – like the Gabbeh – were used for sleeping on. They invite you to sit and lounge about in the living room, but are also excellent for hallways and dining areas. The sheep's wool pile of Lori rugs is dyed with natural colours and hand-spun. That is what gives the Loris their soft surface. Hand-spun wool is always slightly irregular. During dyeing, the natural pigments are absorbed to differing degrees. The rug looks more lively for it, with so-called colour shifts (abrash), in other words light and dark shadings of colour. These changes of tone in the pile yarn always run across the length of the Lori and make the rug forgiving when it comes to dirt.

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

Condition

You are not the first to take a liking to this Lori. It had owners before you who valued it and used it. The pile is slightly worn. It was knotted around 2010. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. That is why – despite its age – it is in very good condition.
