Carpet Shiraz Gashghaï Iran 190 X 160 Cm

Iranian rug, Fars region (southwest Iran) wool, wool warp and weft, circa 1920. Wear throughout the rug. The stitches have been restored in our workshop.

This Shiraz Gashghaï, with its traditional graphics, is typical of 19th and early 20th century designs. On a brown background, three medallions are surrounded by a multitude of motifs: zoomorphic roosters, göl (flowers), a few Medes stars (eight-pointed).
A main border composed of Medes stars and the 'S'* motif, is framed by two, lighter borders with hourglass and zoomorphic motifs. Despite its age, this rug remains solid.

*S motif: originally symbolizing a double-headed dragon that could be seen on ancient Persian, Chinese and Celtic bronzes.
