A treasure woven by nomadic weavers in the charming village of Shiraz in the south of Persia, this antique 1900’s Persian Shiraz rug has a rich heritage. This tribal piece of floor art is adorned with meaningful motifs, including the iconic 8-pointed star, each symbolizing different facets of life, from happiness and fertility to the delicate balance of nature.
The rug's intricate border bands burst with a myriad of colors, framing this gem with the deep hues of navy blue, garnet red, and sandy beige that dominate the rug’s overall color palette. Crafted entirely from wool, this lovely rug features raw fringes that exude rustic beauty and a floppy handle that invites the sense of touch.
Its wonderful age and history will ground a space with the wisdom of the old, creating a bridge between generations. Uncommon in size, this "fun-sized" Shiraz rug is a rare find, making it a unique addition to your decor.
Handwoven with vegetable-dyed wool, it embodies authenticity and the time-honored traditions of its creators. Despite its low pile, the gentle wear and aging only enhance its charm, bearing witness to the stories of those who have walked upon it.
This little treasure is more than a piece of decor; it's a cultural artifact that carries the soul of a region and its people. Embrace its history, cherish its beauty, and let it weave a tapestry of tradition into your home.
