SEMI-ANTIQUE PERSIAN SHIRAZ HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 5'2'' x 8': A rug with a vibrant tribal geometric design and equally vibrant colors, this Persian Shiraz rug is an appealing example for collectors of this type of rug. A red central medallion with spandrels at either end almost completely fills the blue field while the blue field looks like it has been cut out of the red outer field. The splashes of white, yellow, and green in the forms of stylized flowers and leaves further liven the rug's look. The small white serrated leaves in the guard borders and the variegated selvedge on the sides add to the tribal vine of the rug. Condition is good.
