Condition: Perfect condition, has Abrash, ready to enjoy for everyday use

Woven by the Lori tribes of southwestern Iran, this runner is a textbook study in abrash—those natural tonal shifts that occur when different dye lots are used. As you move from one end to the other, shades of crimson red, burnt‑orange, and terra‑cotta mingle with subtle streaks of charcoal and dusty rose, creating a rustic striation that breathes life into the design.

The motifs themselves are delightfully minimal: tiny diamonds and stylized shrubs floating in open space, a hallmark of the Lori aesthetic.

Because of its narrower width, it’s a brilliant choice for that in‑between zone—an entry hall, a mudroom, or even along the side of a bed. The vegetable‑dyed wool has a soft, almost silky hand, while the abrash ensures no two sections are exactly the same. It’s an artful conversation starter for lovers of authentic tribal weaving.

Please Consider

Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.

We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.

We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.

Sustainability

For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.

Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan—reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.

Spills

If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.

Professional Rug Cleaning

It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!
