Nomadic Tribal Weaving at Its Finest
Experience the distinct beauty of nomadic tribal weaving with this exceptional antique Luri rug. Crafted by the Luri tribe, a nomadic group renowned for their bold, expressive designs, this piece dates back to the 1920s and represents nearly a century of history and artistry preserved in hand-knotted wool.
Dazzling Jewel Tones on Navy
The rug features a spectacular contrast of vibrant jewel tones against a deep, shimmering indigo-navy field. Scattered floral rosettes and tribal medallions explode in brilliant fuchsia, cerulean blue, saffron yellow, forest green, and bright orange, creating a sense of depth and visual intensity that commands attention in any interior setting.
All-Over Scattered Medallion Design
An all-over pattern of repeating, scattered motifs creates dynamic movement across the entire surface. This characteristic Luri design approach reflects the spontaneous artistic expression of nomadic weavers, with each element placed to create overall harmony rather than rigid symmetry, demonstrating the tribe's distinctive aesthetic vision.
Multi-Banded Geometric Borders
The borders feature impressive multi-banded geometric and striped patterns that frame the primary field with warm tones of red, burgundy, and cream. These intricate edge designs provide structural definition to the composition while complementing the vibrant central field with their own complex patterning and color variations.
Dense Nomadic Weaving Technique
Hand-knotted entirely from resilient sheep's wool using traditional nomadic techniques, this rug showcases the dense knotting and high-quality materials that have preserved its brilliant colors for nearly a century. The natural color variations (abrash) throughout the wool enhance its vintage charm and authenticate its vegetable dye origins.
