(This rug is in full pile condition) Luri rugs are hand-woven by the Luri tribe in the mountainous regions of western Iran, renowned for their artistic abilities and use of bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors. They use natural dyes sourced from local plants and minerals, resulting in a unique organic appearance highly sought after by collectors. The weavers use knotting techniques on a horizontal loom, with the process taking several months to complete. Despite facing numerous challenges, Luri rugs remain a valuable testament to the tribe’s rich cultural heritage.
