Antique Lori Tentband 810x7cm

This very long antique Lori tent band from West Iran is a rare and captivating example of tribal textile artistry. Woven by Lori nomads, tent bands like this were traditionally used to secure tents or to serve as decorative elements within the tent’s interior. Today, they are highly collectible and increasingly hard to find—especially in this extra-long format.

The tent band is adorned with intriguing black and white geometric motifs, giving it a striking and minimalist appeal that works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors. Its linear design makes it perfect for wall displays, stairwells, gallery-style spaces, or as a dramatic textile accent.

There is a small, cobbled repair and a few minor areas of discolouration, both of which are consistent with the piece’s age and use, and neither detracts from its overall impact or integrity. In fact, they add to the authenticity and character that collectors of nomadic textiles value.

This is a genuine artifact of nomadic life, offering not only beauty but also historical depth—a perfect addition to any tribal textile collection or unique interior space.
