Shiraz Persian Rugs
This exquisite 8'2" x 5'3" Shiraz Persian rug showcases the masterful artistry of Persian tribal weavers from the Fars province, where nomadic traditions have flourished for centuries alongside the ancient city of Shiraz, legendary for its poets and gardens. The semi-antique character of this 40-60 year old treasure reveals the time-honored techniques passed down through generations of Persian craftsmen who created these exceptional pieces during the mid-20th century renaissance of traditional rug weaving.
The breathtaking medallion (toranj) centerpiece commands attention with its intricate geometric patterns radiating from the heart of this masterpiece, while the harmonious blend of madder red and dark red creates a rich foundation that speaks to the ancient Persian tradition of using natural dyes extracted from the madder root. The sophisticated navy blue borders and cream accents provide elegant contrast, while touches of black, brown, ivory, burgundy, and indigo create depth and visual complexity that has made Shiraz rugs treasured by collectors worldwide.
Woven entirely from natural wool and cotton using both asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic Persian heritage and exceptional craftsmanship. The geometric tribal motifs reflect the nomadic lifestyle of the Fars region's Qashqai and other tribal groups, whose seasonal migrations across the Persian highlands influenced their distinctive artistic expressions that combine bold patterns with symbolic meanings rooted in ancient Persian culture.
At 8'2" x 5'3" feet, this versatile size makes it perfect for anchoring a seating area, defining a dining space, or adding warmth to a bedroom, while the rich madder red palette brings sophisticated elegance that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional semi-antique Shiraz rug, complete with traditional fringes that frame its borders and showcase the meticulous attention to detail that distinguishes authentic Persian craftsmanship from machine-made alternatives.
