1960's Persian Shiraz Carpet

About the Item

79079 Vintage Persian Shiraz Rug, 04'05 x 09'05. This hand knotted wool vintage Persian Shiraz rug is a masterful display of tribal artistry, showcasing a vibrant design steeped in tradition. The central composition features three pole medallions adorned with bold latch-hook diamonds, a hallmark of Shiraz weavings. These striking medallions rest against an abrashed red backdrop, where subtle variations in tone add depth and texture, evoking the dynamic landscape of southern Persia. The medallions, decorated with concentric lozenges and intricate eight-point stars, command attention with their bold geometry and symbolic resonance. Surrounding the medallions is a field alive with detail, where additional star motifs and rosettes create a dazzling visual feast. These elements, steeped in cultural significance, represent celestial happiness, guidance and the beauty of nature, offering a harmonious balance to the rug's dynamic design. The hooked diamonds and accompanying symbols tell a story of protection, prosperity, and cosmic order, blending artistry with the traditions of the nomadic weavers who crafted this piece. Framing this intricate field is a meander rosette border, adding a rhythmic flow to the overall composition. The rosettes, alternating in color and shape, echo the floral motifs within the field, reinforcing the theme of growth and continuity. Flanking this primary border is an inner barber pole stripe guard band, a subtle yet impactful design choice that introduces a sense of movement and direction, guiding the viewer’s eye across the entire Shiraz rug. This Persian Shiraz rug is more than a decorative piece; it is a cultural artifact that embodies the history, craftsmanship, and spirit of the region. Its rich red field, geometric medallions, and symbolic motifs invite the viewer to explore the artistry and tradition woven into every fiber. A timeless addition to any space, this rug serves as both a visual centerpiece and a link to the storied heritage of Persian weaving. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 04'05 x 09'05.
