Persian Shiraz Qashqai Rug - 3.00 x 2.08 classicShiraz has been known for centuries as the city of roses, which is reflected in the motifs of many of the carpets. However, the most common motif, and one by which the carpets may be identified, is the diamond shaped lozenge by itself in the centre of the carpet or repeated along the length twice or three times according to the size. The diamond motif of the Shiraz carpets is usually in light or dark blue and the background is normally red with
often showing slight variations and asymmetry that add to their authentic village charm
It is round in shape with an evolving central medallion that begins as a round shape and then becomes ecliptic
It is a very high end carpet that has a magnificent central medallion floating on a field with a base colour green
It is a magnificent rug and would be a worthy addition to any collection
This carpet is a work of genius combining wonderful shades of gold and yellow to create a sense of luxury and beauty
Bakhtiari carpets are based on a cotton foundation warp with a wool weft usually taken from the herds of the producing tribe
The most striking feature of this carpet are ist proportions and shape which sit so well together
More often than not such imagery would appear in a wider context of religious imagery such as the tree of life or the garden of paradise
A rug such as this is highly sort after by collectors and decorators alike
The rugs have a medallion or allover pattern surrounded by simple motif elements in the background
This delightful carpet has a repeat medallion pattern in its field
