About the Item
71656 Antique Persian Shiraz Rug, 04'04 x 05'07. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Shiraz rug is a poetic fusion of ancient tradition and modern tribal allure, where geometry meets spirit in a tapestry of bold contrasts and symbolic depth. Anchored by a striking triple stacked diamond medallion, each edged with latch-hook motifs, the design pulses with the protective energy of nomadic symbolism. These medallions, poised along the central axis, rise and fall like mountains on the horizon, their forms carved into an abrashed ink blue field that speaks of twilight skies and distant memories.
The medallions are embraced by a vivid vermilion red cut-out field, its fiery hue alive with the presence of roundels and eight-point stars, scattered like celestial embers across a darkened landscape. Each star, each roundel, whispers tales of guidance and balance, of travelers finding their path by the light of woven constellations. The cut-out field is more than background—it is the breath of the rug, the space that holds the heartbeat of the design, creating rhythm and contrast with every subtle shift in tone.
Framing this central composition is a royal blue extended spandrel, richly adorned with geometric tribal motifs that tell stories older than written word. These symbols, passed down through generations of Shiraz weavers, evoke the essence of tribal life—resilience, unity, and the sacred dance between chaos and order. The spandrels stretch like protective wings around the core, grounding the brilliance of the medallions in a world of intricate detail and cultural depth.
Encircling it all is a geometric border, bold and deliberate, its linear forms a visual drumbeat that holds the eye. Alternating barber pole guard bands flank this border, their diagonal stripes adding a final note of movement, a reminder of the ever-turning wheel of time. This antique Persian Shiraz rug is not merely a textile; it is a woven song, a story etched in wool and color, where the old world meets the new in a dance of enduring beauty and tribal grace.
Rendered in vermilion, scarlet, red, ink blue, royal blue, navy blue, brick red, orange, burnt orange, camel, coffee, cream, and beige.
