Geometric Rusty Red Patterned Lori Rug with Central Medallion & Border, 1920s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

The abstract, geometric composition creates the simple elegance of this Lori. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements. It blends in fantastically with any surroundings and subtly complements the interior design of a room. The edge of the rug is decorated with an edging (border). The border forms a excellent contrast to the center. The recurring pattern (so-called repeating pattern) flatters the design of the room and does not take attention away from the furniture, the decoration and architectural elements. It blends in fantastically with any surroundings and subtly complements the interior design of a room. In this Lori the repeating elements give way to the symmetrical medallion in the center of the panel. The background of this Lori is rusty red. The border features dark blue, beige and purple. The dark brown center combines the colors light green and yellow. This Lori has a story. It was hand knotted about 1920. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it lovingly. Therefore it is in very good condition despite its age. This hand-knotted Lori rug has a dense, relatively high pile. The wool used for the pile of Lori rugs is particularly high quality and fatty. Lori rugs are very comfortable and hard-wearing. Traditionally, Lori rugs, like the Gabbeh, were used for sleeping. They invite you to sit and fiddle around in the living room, but are also very suitable for hallways and dining areas. The warp and weft yarns of Lori rugs are traditionally made of sheep's wool, which is dyed with natural dyes and hand-spun. The hand-spun wool gives Loris their soft surface. Hand-spun wool is always somewhat irregular. When dyeing, natural dyes are absorbed differently. The rug appears more lively, as so-called color jumps (abrash ) occur, i. e. light-dark shades of color. The color changes of the pile yarn always run across the length of the Lori and make the rug impervious to soiling. The backing (weft and warp threads) of this Lori is made of virgin wool.
