Lori carpets are knotted by the nomadic Lurs tribe in the mountainous region of Loristan in South Western Iran.
Lori carpets are some of the finest examples of tribal carpets available and due to the geographical remoteness and inaccessibility, the weaving traditions remain highly untouched without any influences from the outside world. The artistic expression is highly representative and synonymous with Persian tribal carpet art weaving. These carpets often depict animal motifs and repetitive geometric figures and are highly sought after on today’s market.
Featuring stunning colour combinations of rich and vibrant shades of red, blue, green, yellow and orange, the carpets are made using superior wool from the Lurish shepherds own sheep.
Lori carpets are very price worthy and a great investment due to their high quality and increased rarity on the market.
Fragment
A fragment carpet is a great way of salvaging and reviving the undamaged parts of older, handknotted carpets. Instead of simply discarding the whole carpet, these fragments are carefully selected and transformed into unique, fashionable pieces of art.
All our fragment carpets are carefully washed before being restored into new carpets. These revived carpets inherit all the qualities of an older handknotted carpet - ready to be appreciated in their new form.
A fragment carpet is a fun and bold statement that will surely add a personal touch to any room or setting in which it is placed.
