About the Item

61033 Vintage Persian Shiraz Pictorial Rug, 04'11 x 06'06. This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Shiraz pictorial rug is a striking example of artistry meeting storytelling, a woven canvas where narrative and symbolism converge. Crafted in the heart of Shiraz, this one-of-a-kind piece departs from tradition with its daring pictorial imagery: regal figures, equestrian motifs, and bold colorwork, all arranged upon a radiant crimson field. Such compositions were not produced for export, but rather as expressions of cultural pride and artistic individuality, making their survival in the marketplace today an exceedingly rare occurrence. The imagery itself brims with meaning. The horses—emblems of power, nobility, and freedom—stride proudly across the field, while the portrait-like faces of crowned figures introduce an almost regal authority. Set within a framing border of playful floral forms, this extraordinary pictorial tableau speaks to the duality of Persian rug weaving: the balance between high symbolism and decorative flourish. To acquire such a cherished treasure is to possess a conversation piece that transcends mere floor covering, embodying the fusion of tribal tradition and sophisticated artistic vision. The saturated red ground—long associated with vitality, life force, and wealth—provides a dramatic backdrop for the saturated yellows, greens, blues, and creams that bring the figures to life. Every signature color carries cultural weight: yellow for abundance, green for renewal, blue for spirituality, cream for purity. The interplay of these hues enhances not only the visual richness but also the spiritual aura of this exceptional masterpiece, imbuing interiors with both warmth and gravitas. Each precious knot reflects the hand of a Shirazi artisan whose vision was unconstrained by conventional symmetry, elevating this piece to the realm of true artistry. As with all rare Persian pictorial rugs, scarcity itself adds immeasurable value. Few such pieces were ever woven, and fewer still have endured the passage of time in such condition. For the discerning collector, this exquisite work of art represents more than a treasured artifact—it is a symbol of cultural preservation, a statement of status, and an heirloom with the power to enrich generations. To live with it is to embrace both history and exclusivity, transforming one’s space into a gallery of woven heritage. Rendered in variegated shades of red, beige, brown, green, yellow, navy blue, gray and purple with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 04'11 x 06'06. Date: 1970's.
