61232 Vintage Persian Shiraz Kilim Rug, 06'08 x 09'00.

This handwoven wool vintage Persian Shiraz kilim rug is a mesmerizing tableau of geometric precision and cultural symbolism. The central pattern is composed of interlocking hexagons, each containing the Wolf's Mouth motif, forming an intricate lattice of repeating motifs. These esoteric tribal motifs, symbolizing protection, have historically been used to ward off malevolent spirits.  The careful arrangement of these symbols creates a harmonious and balanced design that reflects the weavers' deep connection to their tribal heritage.

The design is further enriched by an inner border featuring a colorful diamond lattice, which adds vibrancy and depth. This is flanked by an outer border with repeating lozenge motifs, creating a cohesive and protective enclosure while bringing a sense of life and fluidity to the rug's composition. The combination of these borders creates a sense of enclosure and safety, framing the central design with layers of symbolic meaning.

The color palette of this rug is both vibrant and earthy, featuring rich tones of red, blue, green, and beige. The deep reds evoke feelings of warmth and passion, while the blues bring a sense of tranquility and depth. The greens, representing nature and fertility, are perfectly balanced by the neutral beige, which adds a touch of softness and grounding to the overall design. The interplay of these colors enhances the rug's visual appeal, making it a striking piece that commands attention in any room.
