This vintage Shiraz Persian woollen rug embodies the spirit of nomadic craftsmanship with its bold medallion design and rich, earthy colour palette. The field features three connected diamond medallions running down the centre, each intricately filled with geometric motifs in deep brown, ivory, saffron, and ochre. These medallions are framed by stepped outlines, giving them a dynamic, architectural presence.

The background is adorned with a dense scattering of stylised floral sprays and tribal boteh (paisley) motifs in greens, oranges, dark browns, and soft blues, creating a lively and rhythmic texture across the coral-toned ground. This density of ornamentation is typical of Shiraz rugs, reflecting their tribal origins and the weavers' connection to nature and symbolic storytelling.

The border is composed of multiple layers: the main border features a sequence of abstract vine and leaf motifs on an ivory ground, flanked by fine guard borders with intricate, repeating geometric patterns. These borders frame the composition beautifully, adding visual structure and contrast.

Woven in robust, hand-spun wool, the rug has a coarse, rustic texture and a grounded, earthy charm. Its character lies in its asymmetry and hand-crafted imperfections, making it a soulful, decorative piece for interiors that embrace authenticity, warmth, and tradition.
