Loribaft - Crafted to Last a Lifetime

This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted Loribaft rug pairs soft natural wool with rich border motifs, bringing authentic regional craft into your living space.

Originating from the Middle East, this authentic Loribaft rug brings physical warmth and grounded visual strength into your home. The soft pile feels comfortable underfoot while naturally insulating against cold floors, making room settings feel immediately cosier.

Crafted from wool, the fibers offer natural resilience against daily wear while retaining their rich color depth. The generous proportions and low 13 mm pile fit effortlessly beneath living room tables or bedroom furniture without catching edge thresholds.

Because this rug is completely one of a kind, no exact twin exists anywhere in the world. Bringing it into your interior means owning a truly individual piece of weaving heritage that will never be replicated.

Its balanced dark red and beige tones act as a warm anchor for wooden furniture, modern sofas, and neutral interior settings alike, adapting gracefully as your decor evolves over time.

Loribaft rugs originate from the nomadic and semi-nomadic Lori tribes of the southwestern Middle East. Historically woven for personal household use rather than commercial trade, these rugs are deeply rooted in rural tribal life and village tradition.

The name Loribaft literally translates to woven by Lori people. Within this weaving category, variations like Kashkooli represent finer knotting techniques developed by specialized tribal groups, producing a smoother finish and sharper definition of traditional elements.

Visually, Loribaft rugs are celebrated for their expressive geometric designs, stylized animal figures, and framed decorative borders. While traditional examples often showcased deep reds and earth tones, contemporary interpretations blend modern neutral backdrops like beige with classic motif arrangements.

Today, Loribaft pieces are highly valued by collectors and interior enthusiasts for their raw artistic honesty. Owning one offers a direct connection to ancient tribal weaving traditions that continue to inspire contemporary interior design.

Hand knotted with precise human skill, every thread in this piece was placed individually using traditional tools and methods. The process demands patience, steady hand strength, and decades of practical weaving knowledge passed down through generations.

Weighing 14.4 kg across its 228 x 158 cm size, the sheer volume of wool used reflects a solid, dense construction built to withstand years of active home life without losing structure or comfort.

This significant physical weight and compact pile density are direct indicators of the extensive labor involved, ensuring a heavy, stable rug that lays flat and holds its position under heavy everyday use.

Wool

Wool is a fantastic natural fibre with many benefits, it is durable and hard-wearing, which means that a rug made from wool can be used for several generations and maintain its quality. They are an excellent choice for keeping your rooms warm during the cold winter months and can reduce noise from everyday life. The material also has a natural dirt-repellent effect which makes wool rugs easy to keep clean. Wool has a natural elasticity, which means that when the pile is pressed down, it can easily bounce back to its original shape.
