With its soft neutral tones and snowflake-like medallions, this antique Shiraz rug (5.4 × 7.8 ft) offers a striking interpretation of tribal geometry through a muted desert palette. Hexagonal medallions filled with radiating starbursts march across the sandy beige field in orderly rows, echoing the nomadic traditions of the Qashqai and Luri tribes from the Shiraz region.
Woven in earthy hues of taupe, ivory, faded walnut, and pale sky blue, the rug has an almost Scandinavian appeal while retaining its unmistakable tribal roots. The field is framed by narrow guard borders filled with petite abstract motifs and amulets, all rendered in a gentle, aged tone.
This piece is perfect for calming interiors — think minimalist, desert-modern, or organic contemporary — where quiet patterns and natural textures reign.
