About the Item
61506 Rare Vintage Persian Shiraz Rug Runner, 03'01 x 28'01. This exceptionally long hand-knotted Persian Shiraz runner is a masterpiece of scale, narrative, and tribal sophistication—a textile created not merely to adorn a space but to transform it. Shiraz weavings are cherished for their expressive geometry and symbolic richness, yet examples of this rare length and coherence were traditionally reserved for noble households, caravanserai halls, or important ceremonial spaces. Its presence alone communicates exclusivity, instantly elevating the corridor or gallery it inhabits into a curated experience of heritage and prestige.
Across its expansive surface unfolds a rhythmic procession of hexagonal medallions, diamond rosettes, and stylized tribal emblems—each meticulously arranged to maintain balance and clarity over nearly thirty feet of uninterrupted pattern. The interplay of ivory, brick red, indigo, and golden saffron creates an opulent yet grounded palette, reminiscent of sun-drenched landscapes and desert caravan routes. This visual cadence captures the essence of nomadic artistry: movement, endurance, and the quiet authority of tradition carried across generations.
The craftsmanship is equally remarkable. Maintaining structural precision and symmetry over such a monumental length requires exceptional technical mastery—something only the most accomplished Shiraz weavers could achieve. The motifs appear with crisp articulation, their repetition forming a narrative rhythm akin to a woven epic. Each section feels intentional, as if marking a chapter in a long tribal journey or celebrating the continuum of life, protection, and prosperity central to Persian symbology.
Framed by richly patterned borders brimming with floral and geometric iconography, the exquisite work of art possesses the ceremonial presence of an architectural frieze. It invites the viewer to walk not merely across it, but through it—experiencing history, artistry, and cultural legacy with every step. For collectors and designers seeking a signature piece capable of defining a grand interior, this extra-long Shiraz runner stands as a rare opportunity: an heirloom of extraordinary scale, refined beauty, and enduring status.
