About This Shiraz Rug

This magnificent semi antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 10'1" x 4'10" showcases the masterful artistry of Fars province weavers, with its striking geometric diamond lattice pattern rendered in a sophisticated palette of red, madder red, navy blue, cream, black, brown, ivory, and burgundy. The elongated runner proportions make this piece exceptionally versatile for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a dramatic accent beneath console tables, where its tribal geometric motifs can command attention while maintaining elegant restraint.

Originating from the historic city of Shiraz in Fars province, this weaving tradition dates back over 2,500 years when Persian nomadic tribes first established their craft along ancient trade routes. The Qashqai and Khamseh tribal confederations, who have inhabited the region for centuries, developed these distinctive geometric patterns as spiritual symbols and clan identifiers, with each diamond and angular motif carrying deep cultural meaning passed down through generations of master weavers who perfected their techniques in the shadow of Persepolis.

The intricate diamond lattice design featured in this semi antique piece represents protection and prosperity in Persian weaving tradition, with each geometric element carefully balanced to create visual harmony while telling ancestral stories. The rich madder red foundation, achieved through natural dyes extracted from the rubia plant, provides warmth and vitality, while navy blue accents symbolize depth and wisdom, creating a sophisticated interplay that has matured beautifully over its 40-60 year lifespan into the mellow, complex tones that collectors prize.

This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic tribal character and refined color sophistication, making it an ideal choice for contemporary homes seeking genuine Persian artistry. The natural wool construction, enhanced by cotton foundations, ensures lasting durability while the asymmetrical Persian knots create the characteristic texture that distinguishes authentic Shiraz weavings from machine-made imitations, allowing this remarkable piece to serve as both functional floor covering and investment-quality art.

At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize the exceptional value this semi antique Shiraz represents, combining the perfect runner dimensions with museum-quality craftsmanship that bridges traditional Persian weaving heritage with modern interior design sensibilities, ensuring this remarkable piece will remain a treasured focal point for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Shiraz rug genuinely hand-knotted?

Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Fars, Persia. It is not machine-made, hand-tufted, or hand-hooked. The knot structure is clearly visible on the reverse side of the rug, confirming its authentic hand-knotted construction.

What does the age classification mean for this Shiraz rug?

This Shiraz rug is classified as antique, meaning it is 100 years old or more. By international convention and U.S. Customs standards, a rug must be at least 100 years old to qualify as antique. Antique Persian rugs are the most prized category among collectors, valued for their historical significance, natural dye patina, aged wool softness, rarity, and the way their colors have mellowed and deepened beautifully over a century or more of careful use.

Where does the Shiraz rug originate?

This Shiraz rug originates from Fars, Persia. The Fars region has a long and distinguished history of rug weaving, with local artisans developing their own distinctive design vocabulary, color traditions, and technical approaches that set their rugs apart from other Persian weaving centers. The village, nomadic rug category from this region is particularly known for its geometric, diamond lattice, tribal and nomadic design traditions.

What knot type was used to weave this Shiraz rug?

This Shiraz rug was woven using both the asymmetrical Persian (Senneh) knot and the symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knot. The asymmetrical Persian knot, which wraps around one warp thread, allows for finer curvilinear design detail. The symmetrical Turkish knot, which wraps around two warp threads, produces a more robust pile. The use of both techniques reflects the weaver's mastery and adaptability within the regional weaving tradition.

Is this rug one of a kind?

Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. As an authentic hand-knotted Persian rug, no two examples are identical. Only one of this exact rug is available in our collection. Once sold, this specific piece cannot be reordered or replicated. Every hand-knotted Persian rug is a unique artifact of its weaver's skill, materials, and creative expression.

Does this rug come with a Certificate of Authenticity?

Yes. Every rug purchased from Los Angeles Home of Rugs includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the rug's origin, age, materials, construction method, and appraised value. This certificate is accepted by major U.S. insurance providers and supports resale, estate, and auction documentation.

How do I care for this wool rug?

Vacuum gently without a beater bar once a week in the direction of the pile. Rotate the rug every 6 to 12 months to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth without rubbing. For deep cleaning, use a professional Persian rug cleaning specialist who uses hand-washing methods appropriate for natural wool fibers and aged dyes. Avoid steam cleaning or harsh chemical treatments.
