The original Gabbeh tradition produced thick, coarsely knotted wool rugs for everyday life inside tents and yurts; the pile was deliberately deep, the structure deliberately loose, and the dyes deliberately variable. Today the Loribaft revives this authentic tradition for the international design market, hand-knotted in the same characteristic loose, airy structure that gives the rug its tactile depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a \u003cstrong\u003econtemporary production\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-knotted from \u003cstrong\u003e100% wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e in the Loribaft tradition. The minimalist composition is a deliberate choice for clean geometry and quiet reduction — a textile that returns to the foundational principle of the tradition: the knot itself as the design, the wool itself as the colour. Every centimetre is unique, every knot set by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is built on an open field of \u003cstrong\u003edeep charcoal grey\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the natural variation of hand-spun wool reading through the surface as subtle tonal shifts.

While the tribe is best known for the geometric “garden” compartment rugs, its village workshops also produced a more \u003cstrong\u003ecurvilinear, floral repertoire\u003c\/strong\u003e — and this piece belongs firmly to that second tradition.

Luri weaving – the historic ancestor of the contemporary \u003cstrong\u003eLoribaft\u003c\/strong\u003e tradition – was traditionally produced for daily life inside tents and seasonal camps during the Luri migrations through the highlands. Each rug carried a nomadic narrative in its geometric and symbolic motifs: the migration through high altitudes, the seasonal journeys, the visual vocabulary of the Zagros encoded into knotted wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted by Luri weavers in the \u003cstrong\u003eLurestan region of western Iran\u003c\/strong\u003e, around \u003cstrong\u003e1970\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the rare \u003cstrong\u003ewool-on-wool tribal construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – both pile and foundation in hand-spun wool, with the structural integrity that distinguishes authentic Luri work from later imitations. The composition follows the archaic tribal vocabulary: rows of bold rectilinear cartouches with inscribed cross motifs, separated by lozenge guards – drawn freely in the directness that defines nomadic weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining feature of this vintage piece is its extraordinary \u003cstrong\u003ecolour depth and abrash\u003c\/strong\u003e. The hand-spun wool, dyed in small village batches, carries pronounced tonal shifts across the field – the ground migrates from \u003cstrong\u003ebrick red\u003c\/strong\u003e through \u003cstrong\u003eold rose and mauve\u003c\/strong\u003e and back, while the cartouches and borders are drawn in \u003cstrong\u003eindigo, petrol blue, olive and camel\u003c\/strong\u003e. This \u003cstrong\u003eabrash\u003c\/strong\u003e – the natural tonal variation inherent to hand-spun, small-batch wool – reads through the surface as a hallmark of authentic vintage construction; no contemporary production replicates the depth that decades of natural ageing give a hand-spun wool surface.
