Sharabian Persian Rugs
This magnificent 11'10" x 7'9" Sharabian Persian rug showcases the refined artistry of Azerbaijan's master weavers, presenting a captivating medallion composition rendered in rich madder red and deep navy blue against cream and ivory grounds. The semi antique character of this 40-60 year old masterpiece reveals the gentle patina that comes only with time, while the burgundy, wine red, and rust accents create depth and sophistication throughout the field.
The Sharabian weaving tradition emerged in the mountainous regions of Azerbaijan, where Persian artisans developed their distinctive style combining classical Persian motifs with regional influences. These rugs became renowned for their exceptional wool quality sourced from highland sheep, and their masterful use of natural dyes including the prized madder root that produces these luminous red tones. The symmetrical Ghiordes knotting technique employed here reflects centuries of Persian weaving expertise passed down through generations of craftsmen.
The central medallion, or toranj, dominates this composition with its intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing eslimi arabesques that dance across the field in perfect harmony. Each motif carries profound meaning in Persian culture - the medallion represents the cosmos and divine order, while the Shah Abbasi palmettes symbolize paradise gardens and eternal beauty. The navy blue corner spandrels echo the central design while creating visual balance that draws the eye inward to appreciate the rug's sublime complexity.
This extraordinary color palette of madder red, dark red, navy blue, ivory, and burgundy creates an atmosphere of warmth and elegance that transforms any interior space. The natural wool foundation provides exceptional durability while developing a lustrous patina over time, and this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates living rooms, dining areas, or studies with its timeless Persian sophistication. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this rare Sharabian treasure as a testament to Azerbaijan's enduring weaving legacy.
The generous 11'10" x 7'9" foot proportions make this rug ideal for anchoring seating arrangements in larger living spaces, while its semi antique character ensures that each thread tells a story of Persian craftsmanship. The black accents provide striking contrast against the warm palette, while the natural cotton foundation and hand-finished fringes complete this exceptional example of traditional Persian rug artistry.
