Sharabian Persian Rugs
This exceptional Sharabian Persian rug showcases the refined artistry of Azerbaijani weavers through its commanding 10'5" x 7'11" presence and sophisticated medallion composition. The semi antique piece, aged between 40-60 years, displays the perfect marriage of madder red and navy blue that creates a foundation of timeless elegance, while ivory, charcoal, rust red, camel, and black accents weave through the intricate Shah Abbasi motifs with remarkable precision. The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian tradition, serves as the focal point where centuries-old design elements converge in perfect harmony.
The Sharabian weaving tradition from Azerbaijan represents one of Persia's most distinguished carpet-making regions, where master craftsmen have perfected the art of symmetrical Ghiordes knotting for generations. This particular rug emerges from villages where the ancient Silk Road brought exotic dyes and artistic influences, resulting in the distinctive color palette that defines authentic Sharabian pieces. The madder red ground, achieved through natural root dyes, provides the perfect canvas for the navy blue medallion and ivory highlights that dance throughout the field, creating depth and movement that captures light beautifully throughout the day.
The Shah Abbasi pattern elements scattered across this masterpiece tell stories of Persian courtly gardens and imperial artistry, with each palmette and vine scroll rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The medallion design follows traditional Toranj principles, where the central motif represents the dome of heaven surrounded by earthly gardens, while the corner spandrels echo this celestial theme in perfect symmetry. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug elevates any space with its authentic Persian character and sophisticated color harmony that speaks to both traditional and contemporary sensibilities.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this Sharabian treasure represents the pinnacle of Persian weaving artistry, where 100% natural wool and cotton construction ensures both beauty and durability for generations to come. The 10'5" x 7'11" foot size makes it ideal for dining rooms, living spaces, or master bedrooms where its rich madder red and navy blue palette can anchor furniture arrangements while the ivory and charcoal accents brighten the overall composition. The natural aging process has softened the colors to perfection, creating that coveted antique patina that only time and careful craftsmanship can achieve, making this rug a true investment in both art and heritage.
