Vintage Persian Shiraz Rug

8'6" x 13'1" | 260 cm x 400 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1950s Persian Shiraz rug embodies the bold tribal aesthetic that made southwestern weaving traditions so distinctive and enduring.

The substantial size allows the powerful geometric forms to command attention while maintaining the rustic refinement that characterizes the finest Shiraz production.

COLORS & DETAILS

Warm beige dominates the field, providing an earthy foundation that feels both grounding and sophisticated. A large hexagonal medallion emerges in camel brown outlines, creating strong architectural presence at the center of the composition. Ivory appears throughout in supporting motifs and details, while soft hints of pale turquoise add unexpected brightness to smaller design elements and border accents.

Heritage and Craftsmanship

The nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes of the Fars province developed weaving traditions that emphasized bold geometric patterns and natural color palettes drawn from their landscape. Shiraz served as the commercial center where these tribal productions were collected and traded, giving its name to a diverse group of rugs unified by their distinctive aesthetic sensibilities.

Design Elements

Bold tribal geometry dominates the composition through stacked diamond medallions that create vertical rhythm across the field. Stepped outlines and hooked edges energize each motif, while the border carries repeating rosettes and angular forms that frame the interior without competing for attention. The restrained earthy palette creates visual cohesion, while subtle turquoise highlights add moments of color that brighten the overall effect.

Placement

The substantial 8'6" x 13'1" dimensions make this rug ideal for large living rooms, dining areas, or master bedrooms where its commanding presence can anchor major furniture groupings. The earthy beige and camel palette with turquoise accents works particularly well in spaces seeking warmth and character without overwhelming brightness.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the rug's beauty:

  • Rotate periodically for even wear

  • Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting

  • Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing

  • Professional cleaning recommended annually

  • Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity

Shiraz rugs represent one of Persian weaving's most expressive tribal traditions, where nomadic aesthetics created bold geometric patterns that speak to both ancient heritage and contemporary sensibilities. Their distinctive character continues to resonate in modern interiors seeking authentic cultural expression.
