About the Item
77933 Vintage Persian Shiraz Kilim Rug Runner, 03'06 x 10'09. Persian Shiraz kilim rugs, traditionally crafted by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in Iran's southwestern Fars province near Shiraz, are handwoven textiles known for their flatweave technique, which involves weaving the fabric without a pile, creating a lightweight, thinner rug. They typically feature geometric patterns like diamonds, hexagons, and stripes, alongside symbolic motifs representing nature, protection, and cultural beliefs. Made primarily from wool using natural dyes, these rugs reflect the nomadic lifestyle and tribal heritage of their weavers through their unique designs. Renowned for their craftsmanship, durability, and artistic beauty, they are highly valued both functionally and decoratively.
This handwoven wool vintage Persian Shiraz kilim rug runner embodies captivating woven beauty through its intricate details, bold design, vibrant colors, and tribal style. The abrashed rust-colored field features an all-over geometric pattern of seven lozenges adorned with stars, comb-ladder symbols, and ambiguous tribal motifs, all framed by a crenelated fence border. Its artistic composition combines organized patterns with a sense of chaotic order, giving the rug immense visual interest and graphic appeal.
Each motif holds significant symbolism rooted in cultural beliefs and traditions. Stars often symbolize protection and guidance, while comb-ladder symbols can represent protection or connection to higher powers. The lozenges themselves, sometimes interpreted as eyes, may offer protection against evil. The crenelated fence border symbolizes a protective boundary, safeguarding the contents within. These motifs, combined with vibrant natural colors, make the rug a distinctive expression of tribal art.
As a flat-weave kilim rug, this Shiraz piece effortlessly merges traditional symbolism with contemporary aesthetics, lending a curated, timeless appearance that exudes warmth and informality. It is a testament to the weaving skills and cultural heritage of its makers, inviting admiration for both its craftsmanship and the stories woven into its fabric.
Rendered in variegated shades of rust, terra cotta, sky blue, tan, navy blue, brick red, verdigris, light yellow, royal blue, light gray, sage, and beige with other accent colors.
