About the Item

This rare late 19th century Lori bag highlights a powerful and rhythmic geometric composition featuring a central field of vertical polychromatic stripes filled with stylized cruciform motifs. This structural balance between the striped core and the surrounding border of geometric florets reflects the pinnacle of the Luri tribal weaving tradition in Western Persia. Textiles of this era from the Lori tribes are world renowned for their extraordinary graphic intensity and a sophisticated nomadic vocabulary that represents a distinct artistic language developed over centuries of tribal heritage. The color palette is masterfully balanced featuring high contrast shifts of madder red, indigo blue, golden ochre, and soft ivory. These rich and enduring tones achieved through the expert application of natural dyes over 130 years ago exhibit a chromatic strength and a saturated depth that are hallmarks of the finest late 19th century tribal productions. The inclusion of a sophisticated upper section or "kilim" closure featuring a rhythmic sequence of broad horizontal bands in ivory and red creates a precise visual frame that highlights the superior material quality and technical versatility of the weaver. Structural analysis indicates the use of premium hand spun local wool with a characteristically sturdy handle and a rich historical patina. The exceptional clarity of the decorative outlines, specifically the minute internal geometric details within the vertical bands and the precisely rendered symmetry of the outer guard bands, distinguishes this antique masterpiece as an authentic late 19th century Lori bag. Ultimately, this piece represents a peak in both technical endurance and graphic majesty for global collectors of nomadic textiles.
