Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Shiraz Persian rug, measuring 10'2" x 7'4", showcases the masterful artistry of Fars province weavers through its commanding medallion (Toranj) centerpiece and intricate geometric patterns. The rich madder red field, accented by deep burgundy and dark red tones, creates a warm foundation that draws the eye to the central medallion, while cream and ivory details provide elegant contrast against the dramatic color palette.
The ancient city of Shiraz, capital of Fars province, has been the heart of Persian rug weaving for over a millennium, where Qashqai and Khamseh tribal weavers have passed down their geometric traditions through countless generations. These nomadic artisans developed their distinctive style while migrating across the Zagros Mountains, incorporating bold tribal motifs and using natural dyes extracted from local madder root to achieve the characteristic deep red hues that define authentic Shiraz rugs.
The geometric medallion design represents the cosmic order and celestial harmony in Persian culture, with the central Toranj symbolizing the eternal cycle of life and the surrounding geometric borders acting as protective barriers. The interplay of navy blue and black accents throughout the field creates depth and movement, while beige corner details frame the composition with traditional Persian elegance.
At 40-60 years old, this semi antique masterpiece displays the perfect balance of age-acquired character and structural integrity, making it an ideal centerpiece for living rooms, dining areas, or large bedrooms where its 10'2" x 7'4" foot dimensions provide substantial coverage without overwhelming the space. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this remarkable example of Persian weaving heritage, where each hand-knotted knot tells the story of nomadic traditions preserved through time.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure elevates any interior with its authentic tribal character and sophisticated color harmony, perfectly bridging traditional Persian artistry with contemporary home styling. The natural wool construction and asymmetrical Persian knotting technique ensure lasting durability, while the rich burgundy and madder red palette adds warmth and sophistication to modern and traditional décor schemes alike.
