Shiraz Persian Rugs
This magnificent 9'8" x 6'4" Shiraz Persian rug showcases the bold geometric artistry that has made Fars Province famous for centuries. The commanding medallion (toranj) at its center radiates outward in rich madder red tones, creating a focal point that draws the eye while maintaining perfect balance with the surrounding tribal motifs. At 40-60 years old, this semi antique piece carries the authentic patina and character that only time can bestow upon genuine Persian craftsmanship.
The ancient city of Shiraz, nestled in the heart of Fars Province, has been home to master weavers since the Safavid era. Nomadic tribes of this region developed their distinctive knotting techniques while traveling between summer and winter pastures, creating rugs that could withstand the rigors of nomadic life while maintaining extraordinary beauty. The asymmetrical Persian knots combined with traditional Ghiordes knots in this piece reflect generations of inherited wisdom passed down through tribal families.
Every geometric pattern woven into this Shiraz rug carries profound meaning rooted in Persian culture and nomadic traditions. The central medallion represents the dome of heaven, while the surrounding angular motifs symbolize protection against evil spirits and bring good fortune to the household. The deep navy blue border frames these sacred symbols, representing the infinite sky under which the nomadic weavers created their masterpieces.
The rich color palette of madder red, dark red, navy blue, cream, black, and ivory creates a sophisticated harmony that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. These natural dyes, derived from madder root, indigo, and other botanical sources, have maintained their vibrancy across decades, testament to the superior craftsmanship of Fars Province artisans. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless artistic expression.
Perfect for medium to large living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms, this 9'8" x 6'4" foot Shiraz rug provides ideal coverage while allowing furniture placement flexibility. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece, where the 100% natural wool construction ensures durability and comfort underfoot, while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity that will preserve this treasure for future generations.
