About the Item
73624 Antique Shiraz Persian Rug, 07'00 x 09'04. Emanating the raw poetry of nomadic life, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Shiraz rug is a masterwork of tribal expression and ancestral storytelling. Its deep navy medallions—three stacked hexagonal lozenges—pulse against a field of burnished terra cotta and burnt saffron, forming a mesmerizing rhythm of geometry and symbolism. Each stepped amulet, guarded by latch-hook outlines and filled with birds, rosettes, and protective talismans, serves as both ornament and invocation—a woven language of blessings for harmony, strength, and safe passage. The exceptional design radiates with authenticity and spiritual depth, drawing the eye inward to its magnetic symmetry.
The palette, a striking interplay of indigo blues, earthen ochres, and russet tones, reflects the sun-drenched landscapes of southern Persia and the dyeing traditions that have endured there for centuries. Natural vegetal dyes lend the rug a soulful patina—each hue softened by time yet resonant with the warmth of its origin. The result is an antique textile that feels both ancient and alive, possessing that ineffable balance of imperfection and harmony that defines true artisan mastery.
Crafted by Qashqai weavers in the Shiraz region, this one-of-a-kind piece speaks to the meeting point of nomadic spirit and refined artistry. Every esoteric symbol and precious knot carries meaning—the bird as a messenger, the rosette as the flower of eternity, the latch-hook as a guardian against misfortune. Its border, a ziggurat of white and indigo, frames the exclusive composition with rhythmic precision, grounding the inner field’s organic vitality. This cherished treasure embodies a living heritage, a record of human creativity interwoven with the land’s enduring pulse.
For the discerning collector or curator of meaningful interiors, this antique Shiraz is not merely a floor covering but an heirloom of cultural prestige. Whether anchoring a mountain retreat, a timbered chalet, or a refined urban sanctuary, it brings a sense of authenticity and grandeur that transcends trend. To own such an exquisite work of art is to hold a fragment of Persia’s tribal soul—a timeless expression of beauty, resilience, and quiet opulence.
