Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exquisite Shiraz Persian rug measuring 1'8" x 1'8" represents the nomadic artistry of Fars province, where Qashqai and Arab tribal weavers have perfected their craft for centuries. Dating back 40-60 years to the mid-20th century, this semi antique treasure showcases the geometric precision and tribal motifs that make Shiraz rugs so distinctive among Persian weaving traditions.
The geometric patterns adorning this compact masterpiece reflect the ancient symbolic language of nomadic Persian tribes who migrated through the Zagros Mountains surrounding the historic city of Shiraz. These Moharramat striped designs carry deep cultural significance, with each geometric element telling stories of protection, prosperity, and spiritual connection passed down through generations of master weavers.
Rich madder red dominates the field, complemented by deep dark red tones that create remarkable depth, while navy blue borders frame the composition with regal sophistication. Accents of vibrant crimson and soft pink dance throughout the design, balanced by cream highlights and bold black outlines that define each geometric motif with stunning clarity.
Hand-knotted using traditional asymmetrical Persian and symmetrical Ghiordes techniques, this one-of-a-kind wool masterpiece transforms any intimate space with its concentrated beauty and nomadic heritage. Perfect as an accent piece beside a favorite reading chair, adorning a side table, or creating a focal point in powder rooms and entryways, this compact treasure from Los Angeles Home of Rugs brings authentic Persian craftsmanship to modern living spaces with timeless elegance.
