Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 8'2" x 4'9" showcases the bold tribal artistry of Fars province weavers from four to six decades past. The rich madder red field creates a dramatic foundation for the intricate medallion (toranj) centerpiece, while navy blue and cream accents dance throughout the geometric patterns in perfect harmony with rust red, burgundy, brown, gold, black, and ivory details.
The ancient city of Shiraz, renowned as the cultural heart of Persia and birthplace of legendary poets Hafez and Saadi, has inspired generations of nomadic weavers who created these masterful textiles during seasonal migrations. This particular rug reflects the distinctive weaving traditions of the Qashqai and other tribal groups who settled in the fertile valleys surrounding Shiraz, where they developed their signature bold geometric motifs and vibrant color palettes using natural dyes extracted from local plants and minerals.
The central medallion design carries deep symbolic meaning in Persian culture, representing the celestial dome of heaven and the infinite nature of creation, while the surrounding geometric patterns tell stories of tribal identity, protection, and prosperity. Each angular motif has been carefully hand-knotted using both asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes knots, creating the characteristic texture and durability that defines authentic Shiraz craftsmanship.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its perfect balance of traditional artistry and bold visual impact. The 8'2" x 4'9" foot size makes it ideal for defining seating areas, anchoring furniture groupings, or creating a striking focal point in hallways, studies, or dining rooms. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Persian weaving heritage, where the warm madder red and navy blue palette complements both contemporary and traditional décor styles.
The natural wool construction and cotton foundation ensure lasting beauty and comfort underfoot, while the authentic fringe details and semi antique patina speak to decades of careful preservation. Whether placed in a modern loft or classic home, this Shiraz rug brings the timeless elegance and cultural richness of Persian artistry into your daily living experience.
