About the Item
79097 Vintage Persian Shiraz Pictorial Rug, 03'10 x 06'04. This extraordinary hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Shiraz rug presents a captivating pictorial narrative, vividly depicting the legendary figures of King Khosrow and Queen Shirin from Persian folklore. As a visual testament to the region's rich storytelling traditions, this Persian tableau carpet intertwines artistic mastery and cultural heritage. The pictorial design, rendered in warm earth tones and deep blues, brings to life a scene of regal elegance, with Khosrow seated confidently on horseback, while Queen Shirin and her attendants stand gracefully below. The expressions and postures, though stylized, exude a timeless dignity and romance.
The intricate details within the composition highlight the artistry of the Shiraz weavers. The figures are adorned with traditional attire, their garments decorated with delicate floral and star-like motifs, symbolizing beauty and celestial guidance. The symmetrical arrangement and the interplay of colors within the design evoke a sense of harmony and balance, reflecting the enduring love story of Khosrow and Shirin. The weavers' skillful use of pattern and form transforms this Persian pictorial rug into both a functional piece and a captivating piece of visual poetry.
Framing this narrative is a wide floral border, which features blossoming rosettes and stylized foliage in shades of terracotta, beige, and indigo blue. The border design complements the central scene, symbolizing growth, vitality, and the eternal nature of love. Surrounding the pictorial field, the border creates a cohesive visual frame, further emphasizing the importance of the story depicted within. The intricate detailing of the border elements showcases the traditional motifs associated with Shiraz weaving, imbued with layers of cultural and symbolic meaning.
This Persian pictorial rug is more than just a decorative artifact—it is a woven masterpiece that bridges the realms of art and storytelling. It captures the romance, history, and grandeur of Persian culture, celebrating one of its most cherished tales. As both a historical document and a piece of fine craftsmanship, this woven wonder serves as a unique collector’s piece and a testament to the skill and imagination of the weavers of Shiraz. It invites viewers to step into the world of Khosrow and Shirin, where love and artistry are forever intertwined.
