Shiraz Persian Rugs
This captivating 6'7" x 5'9" semi antique Shiraz Persian rug showcases the masterful artistry of Fars province weavers, displaying a magnificent medallion (toranj) design against a rich madder red field. The geometric patterns dance across the surface in harmonious combinations of cream, black, and burgundy, while accents of rust red, navy blue, and antique gold create depth and visual intrigue throughout the composition.
Shiraz rugs originate from the ancient city of Ô?ÑÇÒ in Fars province, where Persian tribal weavers have perfected their craft for over two millennia. The nomadic Qashqai and Khamseh tribes who settled in this region brought with them ancestral weaving traditions that blend geometric precision with organic tribal motifs. This particular weaving, aged between 40-60 years, represents the golden era when traditional methods were still paramount, using asymmetrical Persian knots to create the dense, durable foundation that characterizes authentic Shiraz craftsmanship.
The central medallion (toranj) serves as the focal point, symbolizing the cosmic order and eternal cycle of life in Persian culture, while the surrounding geometric borders represent protection and spiritual boundaries. The extraordinary color palette features fourteen distinct hues including ivory, brown, ochre, forest green, terracotta, wine red, and royal blue, each derived from natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over decades of careful aging.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its perfect balance of warmth and sophistication, making it ideal for living rooms, studies, or dining areas where its 6'7" x 5'9" foot dimensions provide substantial coverage without overwhelming the room. The madder red foundation pairs beautifully with both traditional Persian décor and contemporary furnishings, while the intricate geometric details reward closer inspection and create engaging conversation pieces.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional semi antique Shiraz rug as a testament to Persian weaving heritage, where each knot tells a story of nomadic traditions and artistic excellence passed down through generations of master craftspeople in the heart of Fars province.
