Vintage Shiraz Persian Carpet

About the Item

75066 Vintage Persian Shiraz Rug, 04'08 x 07'04. In the heart of Persian craftsmanship, this vintage hand-knotted wool Shiraz rug emerges as a timeless masterpiece, weaving together tradition and artistic expression. The rug’s open tan field serves as a tranquil backdrop, allowing the bold design elements to stand out with striking clarity. The simplicity of the field invites the eye to journey across its surface, where intricate details reveal themselves gradually, inviting deeper contemplation. At the core of this design, three prominent navy blue stepped medallions command attention, each outlined with red hooked bird motifs. These medallions, rich in symbolism, may represent the connection between the earthly and the divine, a recurring theme in Persian rug design. The hooked bird motifs, often seen as symbols of hope and protection, create a dynamic interplay of form and meaning, adding layers of narrative to the rug’s visual story. The deep red corner spandrels mirror the hooked bird motifs found in the medallions, creating a harmonious balance across the composition. This clever echoing of design elements not only ties the rug together visually but also suggests a cyclical nature, as if the motifs are in a continuous conversation with one another. The vibrant red adds warmth and intensity, drawing the viewer in and creating a sense of cohesion between the central field and the borders. Encircling the rug is a geometric border composed of tribal motifs, each one carefully crafted to reflect the heritage and traditions of the Shiraz region. Flanked by inner and outer running water guard borders, this framing element adds depth and dimension, symbolizing the life-giving quality of water and the potential for inner purification​. The combination of these elements results in a captivating woven wonder that is as much a work of art as it is a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Persian design. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 04'08 x 07'04. Date: 1970's. Late 20th Century.
