Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exquisite 1'8" x 1'8" semi antique Shiraz Persian rug showcases the masterful geometric artistry that has defined the nomadic weavers of Fars Province for centuries. The compact square dimensions make this piece an ideal accent for intimate spaces, while the rich palette of dark red, black, madder red, burgundy, wine red, rust red, pink, cream, and beige creates a luxurious focal point that commands attention despite its modest footprint.
The Shiraz weaving tradition emerged from the ancient Persian city of Ô?ÑÇÒ, where nomadic tribes of the Qashqai and Khamseh confederations have created these distinctive rugs for over 500 years. Located in the heart of Fars Province, Shiraz served as a crucial trading hub where tribal weavers would bring their finest creations to market. The geometric and tribal patterns found in this semi antique piece reflect the symbolic language of these nomadic peoples, with each motif carrying deep cultural significance passed down through generations of master weavers.
The intricate geometric patterns adorning this rug represent protection, prosperity, and spiritual guidance in Persian nomadic culture. The dominant dark red ground, achieved through traditional madder root dyes, symbolizes strength and vitality, while the contrasting black outlines provide dramatic definition to each design element. The burgundy and wine red accents add depth and sophistication, while subtle pink and cream highlights create visual movement across the field, demonstrating the weaver's exceptional skill in color harmonization.
At 40-60 years old, this semi antique piece has developed the perfect patina that collectors cherish, with colors that have mellowed beautifully while maintaining their vibrant character. The natural wool construction, hand-knotted using both asymmetrical Persian and symmetrical Ghiordes techniques, creates a dense pile that will continue to improve with age. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece from Los Angeles Home of Rugs elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and exceptional craftsmanship.
Perfect as a prayer rug, accent piece beside a reading chair, or dramatic wall hanging, this compact Shiraz rug brings authentic Persian artistry to any room. The traditional fringe adds an authentic finishing touch, while the durable wool construction ensures this treasure will continue to showcase its nomadic heritage for generations to come.
