About Persian Shiraz Rugs
Shiraz rugs originate from the city of Shiraz in southwestern Iran and are typically woven by tribal groups such as the Qashqai and Khamseh. Known for their bold geometric patterns and earthy color palettes, these rugs often include medallion layouts, stylized floral motifs, and symbolic animal or tree elements. Shiraz rugs are woven using handspun wool and are generally tied with a Persian (asymmetrical) knot on a cotton or wool foundation. Their aesthetic reflects the tribal culture of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples of the Fars province.
Unique Characteristics of this Shiraz Rug
This rug stands out for its unusual use of raspberry red and deep charcoal, with crisp detailing in ivory and soft rose tones. The composition—anchored by a linear medallion series—evokes classic tribal architecture while maintaining symmetry. Its wool pile is thick and durable, and the relatively compact 5x8 format makes it versatile for entryways, offices, or living areas seeking a pop of color and heritage.
