Antique Persian Shiraz Diamond Carpet
About the Item
61239 Vintage Persian Tribal Shiraz Rug, 04'00 x 10'04. In this exquisite hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Shiraz rug, the influence of the Qashqai Khamseh tribes is vividly woven into every fiber, creating a piece that is both captivating and culturally rich. The rug's abrashed red field serves as a dynamic backdrop, where a striking stepped rhomboid pole medallion runs along the center, drawing the eye with its intricate design. The medallion features seven blue diamond motifs, each one adorned with a variety of symbols—birds, the protective Goz eye, S-hooks, boteh (paisley shapes), and other ambiguous tribal emblems—each carrying its own meaning and story.
Adding to the visual complexity, an inner chevron border composed of small, checkered squares encircles the central field, creating a striking contrast against the deep reds and blues. This border not only enhances the rug's visual appeal but also serves as a protective barrier, a common theme in tribal rug design, symbolizing safety and security for the home it graces. The delicate balance of these elements reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and deep understanding of symbolism that the Qashqai Khamseh weavers are known for.
Framing the rug is a meandering serrated leaf border, a design element that symbolizes the natural world and the connection between humanity and nature. This border, with its flowing, organic shapes, is flanked by a series of inner and outer geometric guard borders, which further emphasize the rug's protective qualities. Among these is the outer diagonal striped Gendje guard band, a design often seen in tribal rugs from the region, adding an additional layer of cultural depth to the piece.
This vintage Persian Shiraz rug is not merely a decorative object; it is a woven narrative, telling the story of the Qashqai Khamseh people and their rich heritage. The interplay of colors, symbols, and patterns invites the viewer to explore the layers of meaning embedded within, making it a timeless piece that will continue to enchant and inspire for generations. Every detail, from the vibrant medallion to the intricate borders, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian tribal artistry.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, orange, beige, brown, verdigris and maroon with other accent colors.
