Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent 7'10" x 5'5" semi antique Shiraz Persian rug showcases the masterful weaving traditions of Fars province, where tribal artisans have perfected their craft for over a millennium. Aged between 40-60 years, this exceptional piece displays the characteristic boldness of Qashqai and Khamseh tribal weavers who historically created these treasures while following ancient migration routes through the Zagros Mountains. The geometric patterns interwoven with delicate Gol Farang motifs reflect the fascinating cultural exchange between Persian nomads and European merchants along the historic trade routes.
The striking color palette of deep red, burgundy, and navy blue creates a foundation of warmth and sophistication, while cream, black, brown, white, and gold accents add layers of complexity and visual interest. These rich burgundy tones symbolize nobility and prosperity in Persian culture, while the navy blue represents the infinite sky under which the nomadic tribes traveled. The geometric patterns, combined with European floral influences, tell the story of cultural adaptation and artistic evolution that makes Shiraz rugs unique among Persian tribal weavings.
Hand-knotted using traditional asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes techniques, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic tribal character and time-honored craftsmanship. The 100% natural wool construction, supported by a sturdy cotton foundation, ensures durability while maintaining the soft texture that makes these rugs perfect for both formal dining rooms and cozy family spaces. At 7'10" x 5'5", this versatile size works beautifully as a statement piece under a coffee table or as an elegant accent in bedrooms and studies.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Fars province treasure, complete with traditional fringed edges that speak to centuries of unbroken weaving tradition. The semi antique patina adds character and depth to each motif, while the combination of tribal geometric designs with refined Gol Farang elements creates a sophisticated aesthetic that bridges traditional Persian artistry with contemporary interior design sensibilities.
