Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 8'10" x 4'0" embodies the sacred artistry of Persian prayer rugs through its distinctive mihrab motif rendered in a magnificent palette of red, madder red, and navy blue accented with cream, brown, yellow, and ochre details. Woven between 40 to 60 years ago in the Fars province, this geometric masterpiece represents the profound spiritual traditions of Shiraz weavers who created prayer rugs as bridges between earthly devotion and divine connection.
The historic city of Shiraz, nestled in the heart of Fars province, has been renowned for centuries as a center of Persian poetry, art, and exceptional carpet weaving traditions passed down through generations of nomadic and settled tribal communities. These master weavers developed their distinctive style by combining bold geometric patterns with deep spiritual symbolism, creating rugs that served both practical and ceremonial purposes in Persian households and places of worship.
The mihrab design featured in this remarkable piece represents the prayer niche found in mosques, its pointed arch directing the faithful toward Mecca while the surrounding geometric borders create a sacred space for meditation and reflection. The dominant red and madder red hues symbolize strength and passion in Persian culture, while the navy blue represents wisdom and eternity, creating a harmonious balance that speaks to both earthly grounding and spiritual aspiration.
At 8'10" x 4'0", this runner-style rug offers perfect proportions for hallways, entryways, or as a striking accent beneath a console table or in a narrow dining space, where its rich colors and intricate patterns create an immediate focal point. The natural wool construction and traditional hand-knotting techniques ensure this one-of-a-kind masterpiece will continue to elevate your living space with its authentic Persian character and enduring beauty for generations to come.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Shiraz creation, where the ochre and yellow accents dance throughout the geometric borders, creating depth and movement that captures the light beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors, making it a versatile treasure that honors the rich weaving heritage of ancient Persia.
