Authenticity is a rare quality in today’s art world, challenging to attain amidst the visual noise and saturation of media. Yet this extraordinary antique Lori rug stands apart. Woven by a young girl from the Lori tribe, it was created in near isolation, free from external influences, born of memory and environment rather than imitation.

Surrounded by mountains and open plains, the weaver translated her lived experience into this bold, geometric expression. Its striking, almost modern aesthetic is a reflection not of contemporary trends, but of a deep-rooted tribal culture passed down through generations.

Woven over a century ago, its surface has aged beautifully. The wear and patina lend a texture that only time and genuine use can impart. More than a utilitarian floor covering, this rug is a living document, an artwork of deep originality and cultural truth.
