Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 8'2" x 5'5" showcases the exceptional artistry of Fars province weavers, where nomadic Qashqai and Khamseh tribes have perfected their geometric medallion traditions for generations. The commanding madder red field creates a bold foundation for the intricate toranj medallion, while navy blue and cream accents dance alongside burgundy, rust red, and ochre in a symphony of traditional Persian colors that have adorned tribal tents and palatial homes for centuries.
Originating from the ancient city of Shiraz, once the cultural heart of Persia and birthplace of legendary poets Hafez and Saadi, this rug carries the nomadic spirit of the Zagros Mountains where sheep graze on mineral-rich pastures, producing the lustrous wool that gives these rugs their distinctive character. The geometric medallion design, known as toranj, represents the cosmic order and divine protection, while the surrounding field displays traditional tribal motifs that tell stories of seasonal migrations, celestial observations, and ancestral wisdom passed down through generations of master weavers.
At 40-60 years old, this semi-antique treasure has developed the perfect patina that only time and careful use can create, with the natural wool fibers settling into their permanent beauty while maintaining the structural integrity that Persian rugs are renowned for worldwide. The rich palette of dark red, black, and ivory creates depth and dimension that changes subtly with different lighting throughout the day, while the asymmetrical Persian knots ensure durability that will last for generations to come.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its perfect balance of bold tribal energy and refined Persian elegance, making it an ideal centerpiece for living rooms, dining areas, or studies where its 8'2" x 5'5" foot dimensions provide substantial coverage without overwhelming the room. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Shiraz weaving artistry, where each knot represents hours of dedicated craftsmanship and centuries of cultural heritage that transforms any interior into a gallery of Persian artistic achievement.
