About the Item

This very beautiful Shiraz rug is a true masterpiece of authentic Persian artistry, woven with the soul and stories of the nomadic tribes of the Fars province. It is not merely a floor covering but a piece of cultural heritage, a testament to a weaving tradition passed down through generations. Its beauty lies in its honest, geometric language, its warm and inviting color palette, and the unmistakable character that can only come from a genuine, hand-crafted artifact. The design is a classic and powerful example of a Shiraz weaving, immediately recognizable by its bold, repeating chain of diamond-shaped medallions. This is not a pattern created from a drawing, but a rhythmic, geometric language that has been perfected over centuries by nomadic weavers, often from the renowned Qashqai tribe. Every line and motif carries a sense of history, making this rug a direct link to the rich artistic legacy of Iran. Color Palette: Hues of a Sun-Drenched Landscape The color palette is one of the most captivating aspects of this rug, evoking the warm, sun-drenched landscapes of southern Iran. The colors are derived from natural dyes, which give them a unique depth and a soft, mellowed patina that only improves with age. Here is an approximate breakdown: Apricot / Terracotta Orange (40%): This is the dominant, warm color that forms the heart of the medallions and the main border, filling the rug with energy and warmth. Dusty Blue / Gray-Blue (35%): This serene and earthy blue creates a beautiful, cool contrast and forms the primary background for the geometric patterns. Cream / Beige (15%): Used as a tertiary color for outlines and details within the motifs, adding light and definition to the design. Dark Brown / Charcoal (5%): Used for outlining the main medallions, giving them a strong, graphic presence. Other Accents (Rose/Yellow) (5%): Small, subtle touches of other earthy tones add another layer of complexity and charm. It is crafted from 100% resilient Wool, hand-spun and colored with natural dyes that create the subtle, organic variations in hue known as 'abrash'—the ultimate proof of a non-industrial, artisanal weaving. Sized at a versatile 70 by 94 inches, this Small Rug brings a soulful texture and a durable piece of Persian history to intimate spaces like an entryway, a home office, or a cozy reading nook.
