Lur Owlad Carpet

This Lur Owlad carpet originates from the mountains of western Iran, woven by the Lur / Bakhtiari tribes who have maintained their nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyle for centuries. The Owlat represent a specific subtribe known for their distinctive weaving traditions and fine detailed designs.

The distinctive features of Lur Owlad carpets include their medium to high knot density, typically constructed with hand-spun wool on a wool foundation, giving them a characteristic thick, substantial feel underfoot. The weaving technique produces slightly irregular patterns that add to their authentic tribal charm, distinguishing them from more formal city carpets. These rugs often display a beautiful natural patina and possess excellent longevity due to the high-quality materials and traditional construction methods. Their rustic elegance and cultural authenticity make them highly sought after by collectors who appreciate genuine tribal artistry and the stories woven into each piece.
