About the Item
61497 Vintage Persian Shiraz Rug Runner, 02'11 x 28'06. This vintage Persian Shiraz runner is a statement piece for the collector who understands that true luxury lies not in excess, but in authenticity elevated to art. Hand-knotted in lustrous wool, it reveals a captivating dialogue between tribal symbolism and refined craftsmanship—an heirloom that feels both ancient and astonishingly modern. The dark red hooked pole medallion immediately commands attention, each lozenge, a powerful emblem adorned with Elibelinde (Hands-on-Hips) fertility figures, eight-point stars for guidance, and Goz eye motifs for protection. These iconic elements were traditionally woven to safeguard the home, making this piece not merely decorative, but talismanic.
Set against an ivory-beige field, the medallions float in a constellation of enigmatic tribal symbols—cross motifs, stylized blooms, and abstract forms passed down through generations of Shirazi weavers. The visual rhythm is strengthened by a stepped ziggurat framework, creating a sophisticated architectural cadence that feels almost ceremonial. The sumptuous palette is radiant: deep crimson, midnight navy, glowing apricot, and soft mineral blue, each hue softened by time into a beautifully harmonious whole. It’s the kind of runner that transforms a corridor into an experience—rich, storied, unmistakably exclusive.
A boteh-and-gul border encloses the composition, its repeating motifs echoing centuries-old themes of growth, eternity, and tribal lineage. Flanking this are inner and outer S-hook meandering guard bands, subtle yet deliberate accents that elevate the rug’s visual architecture. These sacred design languages, once woven in nomadic tents, now read as luxury detailing—meticulous, symbolic, and deeply refined. One does not simply walk past this runner; one encounters it.
For the discerning collector, this exquisite work of art offers more than aesthetic appeal—it provides cultural gravitas and a sense of intimate rarity. At nearly thirty feet long, it becomes a signature element in a grand interior, a curated gesture of sophistication. Its tribal motifs whisper stories of heritage, resilience, and artistry, while its commanding presence speaks to a life curated with intention and taste. This is a precious Persian masterpiece for those who collect meaning as passionately as beauty.
