Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exquisite 4'9" x 2'9" Shiraz Persian rug embodies the rich weaving heritage of Fars Province, where tribal artisans have perfected their craft over countless generations. The mesmerizing medallion (toranj) design commands attention with its intricate geometric patterns rendered in a sophisticated palette of madder red, burgundy, and navy blue, punctuated by cream and ivory accents that create visual harmony.
The ancient city of Shiraz, renowned as the cultural heart of Persia and birthplace of legendary poets like Hafez and Saadi, has inspired generations of master weavers to create rugs that reflect the region's artistic soul. This semi-antique treasure, aged between 40-60 years, carries the patina and character that only time can bestow, with subtle variations in its natural wool fibers that speak to its authentic tribal origins.
The central medallion represents the cosmic order and divine protection in Persian tradition, while the surrounding geometric motifs symbolize the eternal cycle of life and nature's abundance. The deep burgundy borders frame the composition perfectly, with traditional guard borders featuring ancient symbols that have been passed down through generations of Fars Province weavers.
At 4'9" x 2'9" feet, this versatile masterpiece serves as an ideal accent piece for intimate spaces - perfect for entryways, powder rooms, or as a statement piece beside a reading chair or console table. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted creation that elevates any room with its timeless elegance and cultural significance.
The rich color story transitions beautifully from the dominant madder red to subtle dark red undertones, while the navy blue elements provide striking contrast against the warm brown and black details that define the intricate border work, creating a sophisticated foundation for both traditional and contemporary interior designs.
