Loribaft Atash Rug
204 × 155 cm · Mustard · Tree-of-Life Allover
A refined Persian Loribaft — hand-knotted in wool, with rows of small flowering trees scattered across a warm mustard field.
Loribaft Atash — A Refined Gabbeh Tradition
The Loribaft is the refined cousin of the Gabbeh: a contemporary reading of the traditional nomadic Persian rug, with a tighter weave, finer wool and a clearer compositional discipline than the bold, minimal Gabbeh. Woven by the Lori people of the Zagros mountains, the Loribaft keeps the warm, hand-dyed wool of the nomadic tradition while allowing more detailed drawing. Atash denotes the finer grade within the Loribaft family — a higher knot density that permits the crisp, small-scale drawing seen across this field.
Colour and Composition
The field carries a Tree-of-Life allover — staggered rows of small, stylised flowering trees and blossoming shrubs spread evenly across a glowing mustard-gold ground. Each little tree is drawn in a different combination of blues, greens, rust, ivory and black, so the repeat reads lively rather than mechanical. A deep wine-red main border with a floral vine, framed by narrow guard stripes, closes the composition. The Tree of Life is one of the oldest motifs in the Persian decorative canon — a symbol of growth, fertility and the link between earth and sky — here multiplied into a calm, all-over rhythm rather than a single central image. The hand-dyed wool keeps the mustard ground alive and slightly variegated.
Presence in the Room
At 204 × 155 cm (3.2 m²) this is a focused medium-format piece in a warm mustard palette. Three contexts in which the Loribaft Atash reaches its full effect:
- Modern living room: beneath a sofa or armchair pairing, the mustard field grounds a contemporary space with a warm, lived-in quality.
- Bedroom anchor: at the foot of a bed, the dense wool surface and scattered tree motifs add tactile depth and quiet narrative.
- Home office or studio: against architectural materials, the wine-red border and golden field become a warm textile counterpoint to hard lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Loribaft, and how does it differ from a Gabbeh?
Both are woven by the Lori and Qashqai nomads of south-west Persia. The Gabbeh is the older, bolder type — thick pile, few colours, large minimal forms. The Loribaft (“woven by the Lori”) is its finer relative: a tighter knot count allows more detailed drawing, such as the small Tree-of-Life motifs here, while keeping the warm hand-dyed wool and soft handle of the nomadic tradition. The Atash grade marks the finer end of Loribaft production, with a higher knot density.
What does the Tree-of-Life motif mean?
The Tree of Life is among the oldest motifs in Persian and wider Oriental weaving — a symbol of growth, fertility and the connection between earth and heaven. On this rug it appears not as a single central tree but as an allover repeat: rows of small flowering trees scattered across the field, giving a calm, garden-like rhythm.
How do I care for a hand-knotted wool rug?
Regular vacuuming without a beater bar is the basic care — vacuum in the direction of the pile. On smooth floors we recommend an anti-slip underlay. Blot spills immediately with cold water and a light cotton cloth, never rub. For thorough cleaning we recommend professional hand washing every few years, depending on use. Hand-dyed wool is naturally dirt-repellent and resilient.
