Nomads of southern and central Persia gathered indigo and madder during their seasonal migrations toward the Persian Gulf. As a result, shades of red and blue became dominant in their weavings.
They dyed their yarns in small batches over wood fires, often using cooking pots. This led to variations in hues that might seem like imperfections to some, but for many these irregularities create an irresistible charm and a vibrant glow.
This Lori rug is a perfect example. Its radiance and wonderfully minimalistic pattern have helped it defy time. It still commands attention in contemporary spaces.
One never tire of looking at pieces like this, nor of caressing them for their tactile beauty and heartfelt texture.
