This antique Persian rug, originating from the Luri tribal region, is a fine example of traditional craftsmanship, circa 1900. Luri rugs are known for their tribal styles, often featuring a combination of geometric and floral motifs. This particular piece presents a navy background complemented by a brick-colored border and is primarily woven in shades of blue.

Woven entirely from wool, both on the pile and the foundation, this rug exemplifies the durability and warmth characteristic of Luri weavings. Using local wool, the traditional hand-weaving techniques have been passed down through generations, resulting in each piece having its unique charm while retaining core design elements such as the hooked-diamond motifs that are frequently associated with Luri rugs.

The intricacy and density of the patterns are notable features of this rug. The central panel showcases a repeating geometric and floral design, composed mainly of triangular shapes filled with floral elements. These motifs are arranged in symmetrical rows and columns, creating a visually detailed and elaborate core. The primary colors include deep purple, black, red, white, with accents of light blue and green, offering a vibrant palette against the darker central field, enhancing the visual impact of the design.

Three distinct borders frame the central field, each contributing to the overall complexity and richness of the rug. The innermost border features a white background with alternating red and blue circular motifs. The middle border is red, with geometric and floral designs in purple and blue. The outermost border, with a yellow base, is densely packed with floral motifs in red, blue, and green. The symmetry throughout the rug is particularly striking, with the design mirroring cleanly along both the vertical and horizontal axes, exemplifying the meticulous crafting and attention to detail by the weaver.

Reflecting the cultural heritage and historical significance of the Luri people, this rug stands as a testament to their enduring weaving traditions while showcasing their ability to adapt traditional methods to contemporary influences. This piece not only serves as a functional item but also as an ethnographic artifact, encapsulating the values and daily experiences of the Luri tribe.
