About the Item

53396 Antique Persian Shiraz Rug, 06'10 x 09'07. Steeped in the echoes of nomadic wanderers, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Shiraz rug carries the untamed spirit of the Caucasian Qashqai tribes, woven into a mesmerizing tableau of mystique and power. Its presence is both dark and alluring, a relic of a forgotten past where symbols held secrets and protection was woven into every thread. A bold triple cross medallion emerges from the abyss of midnight indigo, drenched in deep crimson, its jagged edges outlined with spiked lozenges—guardians against unseen forces. Within this labyrinth of woven enchantment, an allover pattern of birds, rosettes, S-hooks, and cryptic tribal symbols pulses with life, whispering ancient incantations only the weaver could decode. Beyond the medallions, the midnight indigo field expands like the vast desert night, mirroring the esoteric motifs within while unveiling hidden treasures of cross and quincunx symbols. These emblems, scattered like celestial bodies across a darkened sky, embody cosmic balance and the interconnected nature of existence. Their presence suggests an eternal vigilance, a guiding force for those who dare to tread the uncharted roads of history. The rich abrashed hues, shifting subtly with the light, reveal layers of depth—each imperfection a brushstroke of time, a testament to generations past. Enclosing this spectral field is the serrated leaf and calyx border, also known as the wineglass border—a design as intoxicating as its name suggests. The rhythmic, jagged forms seem to dance, their motion hypnotic, their presence both chaotic and deliberate. Framing this main border are inner and outer concentric diamond lozenge borders, an endless chain of protection, reinforcing the tribal rug’s aura of mystery and reverence. Flanking them, the royal blue meandering cubed guard bands twist like an unbroken path, winding through time, securing the rug’s narrative in an eternal embrace. As the final touch, a colorful diagonal band pulls together the palette, unifying the composition in a masterful display of tribal artistry. It is the last whisper of the weaver’s hand, the final brushstroke on a canvas of memory. This antique Persian Shiraz rug is more than a piece of decor—it is a vessel of stories, a guardian of lost wisdom, and a hauntingly beautiful relic of a world long past, waiting to be rediscovered. Rendered in variegated shades of indigo, deep crimson, maroon, navy blue, dark green, red, gold, ivory, and royal blue with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 06'10 x 09'07. Pile Height: 0.22 of an inch. Date: 1910's. Early 20th Century.
