Shiraz Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi antique Shiraz Persian rug, measuring an intimate 2'4" x 2'2", captures the nomadic spirit of Fars Province through its vibrant medallion and geometric patterns. Woven 40-60 years ago by skilled Persian artisans, this compact masterpiece showcases the traditional Toranj medallion surrounded by intricate geometric borders in a stunning palette of red, black, cream, brown, green, blue, yellow, and white.
The ancient city of Shiraz, nestled in the heart of Fars Province, has been renowned for centuries as a center of poetry, gardens, and exceptional rug weaving. These rugs carry the wandering traditions of the Qashqai and other nomadic tribes who migrated through the region's mountain passes. The bold geometric patterns reflect the tribal lifestyle, with each motif serving as a storyteller's thread connecting generations of Persian heritage.
The central Toranj medallion represents the eye of protection and cosmic harmony, while the surrounding geometric elements symbolize the eternal cycle of life and the natural world. The rich red field signifies prosperity and joy, while the contrasting black borders provide grounding strength. Cream and brown accents add warmth, while touches of green, blue, yellow, and white create a dynamic visual symphony that speaks to the rug's tribal authenticity.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any intimate space with its bold character and perfect proportions for accent placement. Whether positioned beside a reading chair, in an entryway, or as a bathroom accent, its compact 2'4" x 2'2" foot size offers endless decorating possibilities. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece that brings centuries of Persian craftsmanship into modern living spaces.
The combination of natural wool and cotton foundation ensures lasting durability, while the asymmetrical Persian knots and traditional fringes authenticate its heritage construction. This semi antique treasure represents not just a floor covering, but a piece of living history that transforms any room into a space of cultural richness and artistic beauty.
