Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 2'4" x 2'2" showcases the masterful artistry of Fars province weavers from 40-60 years ago, featuring a stunning medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by intricate geometric patterns in a rich palette of red, black, cream, beige, brown, green, and blue. The compact square proportions make this piece incredibly versatile for smaller spaces while delivering the full impact of traditional Persian craftsmanship.
Shiraz rugs originate from the cultural capital of Fars province in southern Persia, where nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes have woven their stories into wool for centuries. The weavers of this region, influenced by both Qashqai and Khamseh tribal traditions, developed their distinctive style characterized by bold geometric motifs and robust color combinations that reflect the dramatic landscapes of the Persian highlands.
The central medallion design represents the cosmic order and spiritual harmony in Persian culture, with the geometric borders serving as protective barriers against negative forces. The deep red field symbolizes strength and vitality, while the contrasting black elements ground the composition with sophistication. Cream and beige tones add luminosity and balance, while touches of brown, green, and blue create depth and visual interest throughout the intricate pattern work.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece using asymmetrical Persian and symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this rug transforms any space with authentic cultural heritage and timeless elegance. The natural wool construction ensures durability while providing the luxurious texture that only comes from traditional Persian weaving techniques passed down through generations.
Perfect as an accent piece in entryways, powder rooms, or reading nooks, this compact Shiraz rug brings sophisticated Persian style to intimate spaces without overwhelming the room. Available exclusively at Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this semi antique treasure offers collectors and decorators alike the opportunity to own a genuine piece of Persian weaving history that will continue to appreciate in both beauty and value for decades to come.
