Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Shiraz Persian rug, measuring 8'7" x 5'7", showcases the masterful artistry of Fars province weavers who have perfected their craft over centuries. The commanding red field is adorned with a striking central medallion (toranj) in rich navy blue, creating a focal point that draws the eye and anchors any living space with its geometric precision and tribal authenticity.
The ancient city of Shiraz, nestled in the heart of Fars province, has been the cultural epicenter of Persian rug weaving since the Safavid era. Nomadic Qashqai and Khamseh tribes who migrate through this region bring their ancestral weaving traditions to local workshops, creating rugs that embody both settled craftsmanship and nomadic spirit. This particular piece reflects 40-60 years of natural aging, developing the subtle patina that collectors prize in authentic Persian textiles.
The geometric patterns surrounding the central medallion tell stories of ancient Persian symbolism, where each diamond and angular motif represents protection, prosperity, and the eternal cycle of life. The interplay of cream borders with accents of black, brown, gold, and forest green creates a sophisticated color palette that speaks to both traditional Persian aesthetics and contemporary interior design sensibilities. As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece, this rug elevates any room with its authentic character and timeless appeal.
At 8'7" x 5'7" feet, this Shiraz rug serves as an ideal anchor piece for medium-sized living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms, providing enough coverage to define seating areas while allowing furniture legs to rest comfortably on its surface. The rich red background complements both warm and cool color schemes, while the navy blue medallion adds depth and sophistication to modern or traditional décor. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional example of Persian weaving heritage, where asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes techniques combine to create a textile treasure that will grace your home for generations.
