Shiraz Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi-antique Shiraz Persian rug, measuring 10'2" x 5'1", showcases the masterful artistry of Fars Province weavers from four to six decades past. The stunning madder red field provides a rich foundation for the intricate medallion (Toranj) centerpiece, while cream and navy blue accents create striking visual depth throughout the geometric diamond lattice pattern. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece transforms any living space into a sophisticated sanctuary that reflects centuries of Persian weaving excellence.
The nomadic tribes of Fars Province have woven Shiraz rugs for over four centuries, carrying forward ancient techniques through generations of skilled artisans. These pastoral weavers incorporated symbols and motifs that reflected their daily lives, seasonal migrations, and spiritual beliefs into every knot. The geometric patterns found in this semi-antique piece represent protection, prosperity, and the eternal cycle of life, while the central medallion serves as a focal point that draws the eye and centers the room's energy.
The sophisticated color palette of rust red, ivory, brown, burgundy, and ochre creates layers of visual interest that complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. The deep madder red base color, achieved through natural dye extraction from madder root, develops its characteristic richness over decades of aging. Navy blue geometric elements provide cooling contrast, while cream diamond motifs add brightness and movement across the field, creating a harmonious balance that speaks to the weaver's exceptional skill.
At 10 feet by 5 feet, this versatile runner works beautifully in hallways, entryways, or as an elegant accent beneath dining tables and console areas. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic treasure that bridges the gap between functional floor covering and museum-quality textile art. The asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes technique combination creates exceptional durability, ensuring this heirloom piece will grace homes for generations while maintaining its vibrant character and structural integrity.
