Loribaft Gradient Stripe Warm Sand

The nomadic weaving tradition of the Qashqai and Lori tribes of Fars Province, Iran, gave rise to the Gabbeh and its refined cousin the Loribaft — rugs celebrated for their unencumbered fields, honest wool quality, and an instinctive colorism rooted in the natural landscape of the Zagros highlands.

This large-format piece presents an open field articulated entirely through horizontal bands of color — warm terracotta and camel framing the outer register, transitioning through slate grey, dusty rose, and pale sage toward the interior, creating a quiet atmospheric depth reminiscent of a desert horizon at dusk; the field is bounded by a restrained single-line border in muted olive, while the fringe at each end echoes the undressed, unaffected character of tribal workshop production.

Woven in an all-wool pile with the looser, more expressive knotting typical of modern Loribaft interpretation, the handle will be substantial and the pile resilient. This is a piece for interiors that value restraint and material honesty over ornament — a meditative ground that anchors a room without competing with it.
