Persia, late nineteenth century. Rare runner in natural colors from the Lori nomadic tribes of Luristan (Kemseh league).

Rare runner in natural colors from the Lori nomadic tribes of Luristan (Kemseh league). Persia, late nineteenth century. Cm.307x100. In excellent condition. With stylized birds and flowers. The "Bird Rugs" of Iran are unprecedented in city weaving and it seems that their roots lie in the indigenous populations of the area, with a history that goes back centuries. This type of carpet should really be considered the prototype of the tribal carpet. The mere fact of being faced with a family of tribal designs that cannot be traced back to an external source is very rare. For this reason, the "Bird Rugs" attract the interest of important museums, collectors and students of tribal culture. In very good condition, also fleece, without significant restorations. Patina and signs of use corresponding to antiquity
