Shiraz Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi-antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 7'2" x 5'7" presents a captivating medallion design woven four to six decades ago in the ancient Fars province. The rich madder red field creates a dramatic foundation for the intricate geometric medallion, while navy blue and ivory accents provide sophisticated contrast throughout the hand-knotted composition.
Shiraz weavers from the Fars region have been creating these distinctive tribal rugs for centuries, drawing inspiration from their nomadic heritage and the natural beauty of southern Persia. The city of Shiraz, renowned as the cultural heart of Fars province, gave its name to these robust wool rugs that reflect the artistic traditions of the Qashqai and other tribal groups. This particular piece exemplifies the bold geometric sensibilities that have made Shiraz rugs treasured worldwide.
The medallion pattern, known as Toranj in Persian, symbolizes the cosmos and eternal life, while the surrounding geometric motifs tell stories of tribal identity and spiritual beliefs. The interplay of madder red with navy blue creates visual depth, enhanced by ivory highlights and subtle brown and beige accents that add warmth and complexity to the overall design.
At 7'2" x 5'7" feet, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates living rooms, dining areas, or bedroom spaces with its perfect balance of boldness and refinement. The semi-antique character brings decades of natural patina and softness to the wool pile, while the asymmetrical and symmetrical knot combination ensures exceptional durability.
Available exclusively through Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this authentic Shiraz creation transforms any interior with its timeless Persian artistry and the enduring beauty of traditional tribal weaving techniques that have been passed down through generations in the Fars highlands.
