Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent 7'8" x 5'1" semi antique Shiraz Persian rug presents an extraordinary medallion composition that captures the nomadic artistry of Fars province in southwestern Persia. The central toranj medallion blooms against a rich red field, surrounded by intricate geometric borders rendered in navy blue, cream, burgundy, rust red, orange, brown, and black-a palette that speaks to four decades of natural aging and the masterful use of traditional Persian dyes.
The Shiraz weaving tradition emerged from the tribal confederations of the Qashqai, Khamseh, and other nomadic groups who converged around the historic city of Shiraz, the cultural heart of Fars province. These master weavers developed their distinctive style during seasonal migrations between winter and summer pastures, creating rugs that reflected both their portable lifestyle and deep connection to Persian artistic heritage. The asymmetrical Persian knots combined with symmetrical Ghiordes techniques in this piece demonstrate the technical versatility that made Shiraz rugs highly prized throughout the Persian Empire.
The medallion design in this semi antique masterpiece carries profound symbolic meaning rooted in Persian cosmology, representing the garden of paradise surrounded by protective geometric patterns that ward off negative energies. The tribal motifs woven throughout the field tell stories of ancient Persian mythology, while the rich burgundy and rust red tones symbolize strength and prosperity. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure elevates any space with its authentic nomadic character and time-honored craftsmanship.
The sophisticated color harmony of deep navy blue anchoring cream and orange accents creates a versatile foundation for both traditional and contemporary interiors. At 7'8" x 5'1" feet, this Persian masterpiece perfectly anchors a living room seating area or enhances a master bedroom with its warm, inviting presence. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic piece that represents generations of Persian weaving mastery.
Crafted entirely from natural wool and cotton foundation, this semi antique Shiraz rug bears the gentle patina of 40-60 years while maintaining the structural integrity that ensures decades of continued beauty. The hand-knotted construction and natural fringe details authenticate its traditional Persian origin from the renowned rug-weaving region of Fars.
