This vintage Turkish rug reflects the Shiraz weaving tradition in its central diamond medallion, flanked by protective talismanic motifs and framed by narrow, stepped borders. The palette — terracotta red, parchment ivory, indigo blue, sage green, and golden ochre — has matured into a harmonious, mineral-rich glow. Natural abrash from vegetable dyes introduces subtle tonal variation across the field.

Woven with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, the rug is durable yet supple underfoot. Its compact size and balanced design make it a versatile piece for collectors and designers, equally at home in layered interiors, intimate reading nooks, or as a focal point in a hallway.

Pieces in this size and condition have become increasingly sought after in the collector market, both for their authenticity and for the enduring relevance of their design language.
