About the Item
78454 Antique Persian Shiraz Rug Runner, 03'03 x 10'11. Woven beneath the desert skies of southern Persia, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Shiraz runner is a lyrical expression of nomadic life—a corridor of memory stretched out in wool and time. Each step across its surface reveals a symphony of detail, where hooked lozenges rise like distant mountains, repeating rhythmically along the length of the rug like sacred chants passed from weaver to weaver. The field, rich with abrash, shifts in tone like the Fars horizon at dusk, its earthy hues—madder red, burnt sienna, walnut brown—glowing with the warmth of sun-soaked soil.
The central lattice of geometric diamonds anchors the composition, each lozenge a talisman, edged in latch-hooks to shield and guide. Scattered between them are cryptic tribal glyphs—floral totems, starbursts, and protection symbols—drawn not from a pattern book, but from the collective memory of a people whose stories are told not with pen, but with fiber. These motifs, at once ancient and intimate, speak of fertility, fortune, guardianship, and the eternal wheel of seasons spinning across the weft.
Encasing this symbolic field is a masterful sequence of borders—narrow bands that pulse with rhythm and meaning. The innermost border murmurs softly with serrated vine motifs, while the main border blossoms with stylized rosettes and angular stems, echoing the wild flora that grows where rivers once ran. Flanked by protective guard stripes, the frame brings balance and completion, like hands cupped gently around a flame. It is not only ornament but invocation—of harmony, protection, and enduring connection to the earth.
This antique Shiraz runner is more than floor covering; it is a living manuscript of tribal artistry and a vessel of warmth. Whether laid in a quiet hallway or underfoot in a sunlit room, it lends the space a curated, lived-in soulfulness—an invitation to slow down and listen. Through its intricate weave and aged palette, it imparts a poetic sense of timeworn elegance, anchoring the present in the wisdom and beauty of the past.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, navy blue, beige, ink blue, brick red, pink, brown, cerulean, rose, and saffron with other accent colors.
