Lori rugs, woven by people living in Lorestan in the western part of Iran, are tribal traditional rugs. The Lori, or Luri as they are sometimes referred to, have lived happily as nomads for over 600 years, free from the constraints of our modern culture. Linguistically Persian, Lori weavers create traditional rugs in designs and styles similar to those created by the Kurds. Still living as they did hundreds of years ago, Lori rugs are woven with handmade tools following the time honored traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation over centuries. Lori rugs are flat-woven, meaning that it is a textile without a pile. Flat weave is a technique of weaving where no knots are used. Instead the warp strands are used as the foundation of the traditional rugs and the weft stands are used as both part of the foundation and in creating the patterns. The weft strands are woven through the warp strands.

The '''Lori''', also called “Lor” or “Lur,” are a large tribe living in the '''Lorestan''' Province and across the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. They are the oldest known tribe in Iran. Over the centuries, the Lori tribe have spread out from Lorestan and settled in the Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran near the Persian Gulf. Lori live among the AFSHAR, BAKHTIARI, Kurd, and QASHQAI tribes. They reside in cities and towns in the region, but a small percentage still live as nomads, raising livestock and migrating semiannually. A historically significant Lori subtribc is the Mamassani.<br>
