Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Shiraz Persian rug at 6'11" x 4'2" presents a stunning Kheshti garden design that transforms any living space with its masterful blend of madder red, navy blue, and ivory anchored by rich accents of rust red, ochre, and burgundy. Woven 40-60 years ago in the Fars province of Persia, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates your home with authentic Persian artistry that speaks to centuries of nomadic weaving excellence.
The ancient city of Shiraz, renowned as the cultural heart of Fars province and birthplace of legendary Persian poets Hafez and Saadi, has been the center of exceptional rug weaving for over a millennium. Shiraz weavers, descended from the great Qashqai and Khamseh tribal confederations, developed their distinctive geometric vocabulary while traversing the Zagros Mountains with their flocks. These nomadic artisans created portable looms that produced rugs of remarkable durability and artistic sophistication, establishing Shiraz as one of Persia's most celebrated weaving regions.
The intricate Kheshti garden motif adorning this rug represents the Persian concept of paradise on earth, with geometric compartments symbolizing the four rivers of Eden flowing through celestial gardens. Each diamond-shaped medallion contains stylized floral elements and tribal symbols passed down through generations of Qashqai weavers, while the bold geometric borders frame the composition with ancient protective talismans. The sophisticated interplay of warm madder red and cool navy blue creates visual depth enhanced by luminous ivory highlights and earthy tones of camel, brown, and forest green.
This remarkable color palette reflects the natural dyes traditionally used by Shiraz weavers, with madder root producing the vibrant reds, indigo creating the deep navy tones, and pomegranate rind yielding the golden ochre accents. The rich burgundy and turquoise elements add contemporary appeal while maintaining authentic Persian character, complemented by subtle orange and black details that define the geometric patterns. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this semi antique treasure that embodies the timeless beauty of Persian weaving traditions.
Perfect for dining rooms, bedrooms, or sophisticated living spaces, this 6'11" x 4'2" foot Shiraz rug provides ideal proportions for intimate seating areas or as a striking accent beneath furniture groupings. The asymmetrical Persian knots combined with symmetrical Ghiordes techniques create exceptional durability, while the natural wool pile offers luxurious texture that improves with age and use.
