ABOUT PRODUCTID 23316
This Persian rug from the Shiraz region of Iran is a handwoven piece from the mid-20th century, measuring approximately 250 x 160 cm including fringes. Made entirely of wool, it features a dominant, deep brick red with a warm, saturated tone, complemented by accents of dark navy blue, cream, brown, and beige. The central field is adorned with a geometric medallion surrounded by intricate, symmetrical motifs, while multiple borders display repeating tribal and floral patterns characteristic of Shiraz's weaving tradition. The pile is dense and slightly coarse, with a subtle lustre enhancing its surface, and the edges are finished with hand-knotted fringes that show some wear and fraying. The rug is preserved in good condition, with a visible patina, slight fading, and irregularities in the pile, but no major damage or repairs. The construction is robust, with prominent hand-knotting and traditional finishing techniques.This rug tells the story of 1950s tribal Iran, where geometric discipline meets a rich palette of colors and symbols. The tightly woven wool, softly shimmering in the light, recalls countless hours of work by weavers for whom each motif held meaning—protection, prosperity, community strength. The central medallion design speaks the language of tradition passed down through generations, while subtle shade variations reveal hand-dyeing and natural materials that deepen with age.In a living room, this rug can be paired with both contemporary minimalist furniture and classic wooden pieces, where its pattern becomes a visual focal point. It would work well alongside neutral
