Antique Lori Tentband 295×5 cm

This rare and beautifully preserved nomadic tent band is a compelling piece of textile history. Woven almost exclusively for personal use, these bands were integral to nomadic life, used to secure and decorate tents, and often served as proud expressions of the weaver’s identity and artistry.

This particular band features vibrant turquoise motifs set against a rich cherry red background, a striking colour combination that speaks to the weaver’s eye for harmony and contrast. The repeated geometric and symbolic elements likely held personal or cultural significance, making this textile as meaningful as it is decorative.

Finding tent bands in such excellent condition has become increasingly difficult, making this piece highly collectible. Its narrow, elongated format allows it to be displayed in creative ways—as a wall hanging, draped across furniture, or even framed as a textile art piece.

For collectors of tribal textiles or anyone looking to add a layer of cultural richness and authenticity to their space, this vintage tent band is a rare and evocative treasure.
