5 x 7 - Antique Persian Shiraz Rug - 51558

51558 Distressed Antique Persian Shiraz rug with Rustic Tribal style. This hand knotted wool distressed antique Persian Shiraz rug features a stepped pole medallion with anchor pendants floating on an abrashed field. The field is scattered with a wide array of traditional motifs, including birds, combs, S-shapes, fertility symbols, eight-pointed stars, ewers, star flowers, vases, and rosettes. These symbols variously are thought to represent happiness, spirituality, purity, cleanliness, and protection against evil. The stepped corner spandrels and ziggurats along the edges of the field are filled with blooming floral vines. Flanked by Classic rosette and sawtooth guard borders, the two main borders feature a paneled design of superimposed diamonds. The overall border scheme expertly complements the field motifs, echoing both the geometric and figural forms in style and scale. With its rich cultural meaning, dynamic design, and tantalizing rustic charm, this distressed antique Persian Shiraz rug would enliven any space.
