Shiraz Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi antique Shiraz Persian rug at 7'7" x 3'7" showcases the masterful artistry of tribal weavers from the Fars province, where generations of nomadic artisans have created textiles that speak to the soul of ancient Persia. The charcoal foundation anchors a vibrant palette of madder red, burnt orange, burgundy, black, ochre, and dark red, creating a visual symphony that captures the essence of tribal storytelling through geometric medallion patterns.
The historic city of Shiraz, immortalized by poets like Hafez and Saadi, has been the cultural heart of Fars province for over a millennium, where nomadic tribes including the Qashqai, Khamseh, and Basseri have woven their tribal narratives into magnificent carpets. This particular rug carries the wisdom of 40-60 years, its semi antique status reflecting the patina and character that only time can bestow upon hand-knotted Persian wool.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian weaving tradition, represents the cosmic center surrounded by geometric tribal motifs that speak of protection, fertility, and the eternal cycle of nomadic life. The deep charcoal field provides dramatic contrast to the warm madder red and burnt orange elements, while burgundy and ochre accents add depth and richness that transforms any space into a gallery of Persian artistry.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize that this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior with its perfect runner proportions, ideal for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a striking accent beneath a console table. The asymmetrical Persian knots combined with symmetrical Ghiordes technique create exceptional durability, while the natural wool construction ensures this tribal treasure will grace your home for generations to come.
