Antique Persian Shiraz handmade rug 132cm x 198cm 1920s - 1C1221

This striking antique Persian Shiraz rug, dating from the 1920s, is a masterful display of South Persian tribal artistry. The vibrant red field is dominated by a vertical sequence of three large, nested hexagonal medallions, rendered in deep navy and ivory. Each medallion is intricately filled with traditional nomadic symbols, while the surrounding field is densely populated with stylized floral heads, geometric stars, and tribal ornaments. The energetic composition is framed by a sophisticated multi-banded border, featuring a classic repeating vine and petal motif that provides a structured finish to the bold interior. Hand-knotted with high-quality, hand-spun wool, this piece is in good antique condition, retaining a lush and sturdy pile that has softened beautifully over the last century. The natural dyes have aged into a rich, warm patina, showcasing the characteristic 'abrash' or subtle color variations that collectors highly prize in authentic tribal weavings. With its generous dimensions and robust construction, this rug serves as a commanding and soulful focal point for any interior, from a rustic study to a modern eclectic living room.
