Vintage Persian Shiraz Kilim Rug with Dolphins
About the Item
61043 Vintage Persian Shiraz Kilim Rug, 03'04 x 04'09. This handwoven wool vintage Persian Shiraz kilim rug is a delightful piece rich with historical charm and tribal symbolism. The abrashed brown field features an enchanting arrangement of motifs, with graceful dolphins swimming across the center. Dolphins in Persian weaving can symbolize joy, harmony, and freedom, imbuing this Persian flatweave rug with a sense of playfulness and liveliness that speaks to the spirit of its nomadic origins. The inclusion of these marine motifs hints at a unique cultural expression, connecting nature and artistry in a captivating way.
Adding to its allure, the Shiraz kilim rug is adorned with a variety of ambiguous and tribal motifs, each woven with purpose and mystery. These symbols serve as both decoration and protection, embodying the weavers’ desire to ward off malevolent forces and bring fortune to their dwellings. Together, these patterns create a lively and harmonious scene, evoking the spirit of the tribes who crafted this piece, merging practicality with artistry to produce a visually engaging work of art.
Enclosing this symphony of shapes is a bold red geometric border, which provides a sense of structure and definition to the free-flowing central design. The border’s vibrant red hue is both grounding and protective, symbolizing strength and vitality. It frames the central scene beautifully, drawing the eye inward while balancing the energy of the interior motifs. The contrasting colors between the rich red border and the earthy brown field add visual depth, enhancing the rug's overall appeal.
This vintage Shiraz kilim rug is more than just a decorative textile; it’s a portal to the past, reflecting the deep-rooted traditions of Persian nomadic artistry. Its unique blend of color, pattern, and symbolic meaning makes it an ideal piece for interiors with an eclectic or bohemian aesthetic, where it can bring warmth, personality, and a touch of the exotic. Whether placed in a cozy home office or a vibrant entryway, this woven wonder will add a layer of cultural depth and storytelling to any setting.
