This whimsical antique Persian rug, woven by the Shiraz tribe at the turn of the 20th century, beautifully captures the essence of tribal life and nature. Set against a deep navy blue ground, the rug is filled with a vibrant array of animal motifs, particularly birds, which bring a lively and dynamic energy to the piece.
The corners of the main field feature charming Boteh and chicken motifs, while mountain symbols guard the central area, echoing the natural landscape that inspired the tribe. S-hook motifs, believed to offer protection from the evil eye, are subtly woven throughout. The rust-toned main border, adorned with traditional tribal patterns, provides a striking frame to the composition.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, this beauty has aged quite nicely. Despite some scattered wear, the rug's tight weave ensures durability, making it suitable even for high-traffic areas. This piece offers a unique glimpse into Shiraz tribal culture and artistry.
