Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent 7'10" x 5'3" Shiraz Persian rug presents a striking diamond lattice pattern woven in the rich madder red and deep navy blue tones that define the nomadic artistry of Fars province. Dating from 40-60 years ago, this semi antique treasure showcases the geometric precision and tribal character that make Shiraz weavings among Persia's most distinctive floor coverings, with each asymmetrical Persian knot telling the story of nomadic traditions passed down through generations.
The Shiraz region, nestled in the heart of Fars province, has been the crossroads of Persian weaving excellence for over a millennium, where Qashqai and Khamseh tribal confederations created rugs that served both as practical floor coverings and portable art for their nomadic lifestyle. This particular weaving demonstrates the sophisticated understanding of color harmony that characterizes authentic Shiraz work, as the dominant madder red foundation plays against navy blue geometric motifs, while cream, white, and black details provide crisp definition to the intricate diamond lattice design.
The diamond lattice motif carries profound symbolic meaning in Persian tribal culture, representing the interconnectedness of life and the protection of the home, while the geometric patterns reflect the mathematical precision inherent in nomadic weaving traditions. The burgundy and rust red accents woven throughout this piece create depth and visual movement, demonstrating the weaver's masterful control of natural wool dyes that have maintained their vibrancy across decades of use and aging.
At 7'10" x 5'3" feet, this semi antique Shiraz rug offers the perfect proportions for anchoring a living room seating area, defining a dining space beneath a mid-sized table, or creating a warm focal point in a master bedroom where its tribal geometry complements both traditional and contemporary furnishings. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Persian tribal artistry, where every hand-knotted element reflects the authentic craftsmanship that makes each piece irreplaceable.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior with its perfect balance of bold geometric design and sophisticated color palette, making it an investment in both artistic heritage and timeless home décor that will be treasured for generations to come.
