Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Shiraz Persian rug measuring 9'10" x 6'9" presents a stunning medallion design that captures the nomadic spirit of the Fars province. The rich madder red field creates a dramatic foundation, while the central toranj medallion draws the eye with its geometric precision and symbolic meaning of eternity and divine protection.
Woven by skilled artisans in the historic city of Shiraz, this rug represents four to six decades of Persian weaving mastery from the cultural heart of Fars province. The Shiraz weaving tradition dates back over a millennium, where nomadic Qashqai and Khamseh tribes brought their ancestral patterns to the urban workshops. This particular piece showcases the perfect marriage of tribal spontaneity and city sophistication, with asymmetrical Persian knots creating exceptional durability and texture.
The medallion design holds deep cultural significance in Persian symbolism, representing the cosmos and divine order, while the surrounding geometric patterns tell stories of protection and prosperity. The color palette speaks volumes about authentic Persian dyeing techniques - the madder red evokes passion and strength, burgundy adds royal depth, while cream and ivory provide celestial balance. Navy blue represents wisdom and infinity, complemented by earthy brown and ochre tones that ground the composition in natural harmony.
At 9'10" x 6'9", this exceptional piece works beautifully as a dining room centerpiece, master bedroom focal point, or sophisticated living room accent. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless geometric artistry. The semi-antique status ensures a perfect balance of character and durability, while the natural wool construction promises decades of beauty.
This remarkable Shiraz creation transforms any interior into a gallery of Persian culture, where geometric precision meets artistic soul. The interplay of deep burgundy and madder red creates visual warmth, while the medallion pattern serves as a conversation centerpiece that celebrates the enduring legacy of Fars province craftsmanship.
