This handwoven Shiraz rug from the 1960s exemplifies authentic Iranian tribal craftsmanship. Made from natural wool, it features a matte, brick-red (terracotta) background, with an elongated hexagonal central medallion composed of geometric motifs in navy blue, cream, beige, and black. The composition is framed by multi-layered borders: from light blue and beige, through a wide navy border with repeating geometric patterns, to an outer brick-red band. The wool pile is dense and slightly coarse, with hand-knotted fringes along the edges showing minor vintage wear. The design displays the irregular symmetry typical of this region, emphasizing the handmade, unique character of each piece. The rug is free from stains and major damage; the colors remain vibrant, and the overall condition is very good vintage, with only minor signs of gentle use.The Shiraz rug, through its form and palette, brings the voice of southern Iran to life: it evokes tales of caravan routes crossing arid plains and domestic interiors where geometric patterns were believed to offer protection and luck. The warm brick background, contrasted by navy and black, suggests a hearth around which daily life unfolds. Subtle irregularities in the pattern
