Unleash the wild spirit of the Zagros Mountains with this breathtaking Lori rug! A true antique marvel, hand-knotted around the 1980s, this beauty hails from the legendary Khorramabad Region of Persia. It's not just a rug; it's a vibrant narrative woven entirely from the heart of nature itself. Imagine the lush local wool, dyed with potent natural colors, creating a tapestry of unparalleled quality and rich, earthy tones.

This nomadic carpet embodies the soul of the Lori weavers – a testament to their simple, yet profoundly artistic, tribal life. Every knot in this magnificent piece sings a story of human nature intertwined with the wild. Feast your eyes on the captivating, nature-inspired "snake" design, where four triangles unite to form a powerful square. These squares, in turn, nestle within even larger ones, each connected by a rope-like embrace – a symphony of geometric brilliance! This intricate artistry springs solely from the creative minds of Lori women, crafting breathtaking designs that are both simple and profoundly beautiful.

In the Lori culture, the weaving of nomadic carpets is a sacred tradition, a privilege reserved for women and girls. It’s more than just a craft; it's a symbol of desirability, often leading to earlier marriages. Picture this: at a Lori wedding, one of these exquisite hand-woven nomadic carpets proudly adorns a horse, a magnificent display for all to behold, showcasing the artistry and skill of its creator. Though this particular piece boasts a wonderfully low pile, its durability and timeless appeal are undeniable. With its unique, slightly uneven 4’3 x 6’10” dimensions (check out the last photo!), this Lori rug, Rug #K1801, promises to be an extraordinary centerpiece, infusing any space with ancient history, passionate craftsmanship, and an undeniable adventurous spirit!
