Shiraz Rug, Persia, Late 19th - Early 20th Century

This Shiraz rug is a typical example of Persian nomadic weaving, featuring a three-diamond medallion structure on a richly decorated field filled with small floral and geometric motifs. The serrated frames surrounding the medallions are a distinctive hallmark of this region's craftsmanship, as is the striking contrast between the deep midnight blue background and the vibrant rust red. The border consists of multiple bands containing stylized hook motifs and small decorative elements, creating a balanced composition.
