Shiraz Persia Geometric Red Blue 160x252 Cm

Discover the Shiraz Persia 160x252 cm, Geometric pattern in Red Blue, Hand Knotted

A Tribal Work of Art from Southern Persia

This magnificent Shiraz rug, originating from the mountainous regions of Southern Persia, is an authentic testament to nomadic weaving art. Expertly hand-knotted using hand-carded wool, with a cotton warp, it reveals the deep connection between the artisan and the surrounding nature. The density of approximately 160,000-200,000 knots/sqm ensures exceptional robustness and durability, confirming its origin from the skilled hands of nomadic tribes.

The design is a classic example of the Shiraz style, characterized by a large central diamond-shaped medallion, outlined in dark blue and cream, which encloses complex geometric motifs. This medallion is flanked by two smaller, similar medallions at the top and bottom of the field. The main field is filled with a rich all-over design of stylized tribal symbols, including animals, stars, flowers, and 'house' motifs, arranged in an apparently random but harmonious way, typical of nomadic rugs that narrate stories of daily life and beliefs.

The color palette is dominated by a vibrant brick red, creating a warm and welcoming background, contrasted by deep tones of dark blue in the medallion and corners. Details in cream, ochre, light blue, and brown enrich the design, highlighting the natural beauty of vegetable dyes. The presence of abrash (color variations due to different dye baths for the wool) adds depth and character, making each piece unique and unrepeatable.

The borders feature a stylized floral and geometric pattern on a dark background, elegantly framing the central field. This rectangular rug is ideal for enriching a living room, study, or bedroom, bringing a touch of Persian history and culture into your home and creating a warm and authentic atmosphere.
