Persian Shiraz Rug | 5' 11" x 6' 9"

There is something profoundly moving about a rug that tells the story of its own creation. This nomadic Shiraz piece is a "Zehni-baft", meaning woven entirely from memory without a written map. In it, we see the hand of a young weaver, working with a passion that outweighs their experience.

While an expert might spot "charming idiosyncrasies" in the pattern, it is exactly these moments that make the rug come alive. You can feel the weaver’s focus as they practiced this complex, pictorial design. The two central medallions rise like jagged, layered mountain peaks, while stylized eagles soar through the sky above.

For the collector who values character over clinical perfection, this rug offers a soft texture and a soul that "factory-made" pieces simply cannot replicate.
