Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent 4'4" x 3'7" antique Shiraz Persian rug showcases the bold geometric artistry that has defined tribal weaving for centuries. With over 60 years of age, this hand-knotted masterpiece displays the rich madder red foundation that has become synonymous with Shiraz rugs, beautifully contrasted by deep black outlines, warm cream accents, and earthy brown tones that create a sophisticated color palette perfect for contemporary and traditional interiors alike.
Originating from the Fars province surrounding the historic city of Shiraz, this rug represents the nomadic Qashqai and Khamseh tribes' weaving traditions that have flourished in the Persian highlands for generations. The geometric patterns speak to an ancient symbolic language, where diamond medallions represent protection and prosperity, while the intricate border designs tell stories of tribal migration routes and seasonal celebrations. Each motif was carefully planned and executed by skilled weavers who passed down these design secrets through generations of tribal knowledge.
The striking geometric patterns featured in this antique piece reflect the mathematical precision and artistic vision of Persian tribal weavers, where angular motifs create a dynamic visual rhythm across the rug's surface. The dominant madder red ground provides a warm, inviting foundation that enhances the black geometric elements, while cream and brown accents add depth and sophistication to the overall composition. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure elevates any space with its authentic tribal character and timeless appeal.
The compact 4'4" x 3'7" foot dimensions make this Shiraz rug ideal for accent placement in reading nooks, beside beds, in front of fireplaces, or as a welcoming entrance piece. The rich madder red tones complement wooden furniture beautifully, while the geometric patterns add visual interest to neutral color schemes. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Persian tribal artistry, where the natural wool construction and traditional hand-knotting techniques ensure both durability and enduring beauty for generations to come.
