Antique Shiraz Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

Shiraz is the capital of the federation of six tribes in the south-west of Persia in the Fars region.  Antique Shiraz rugs are always vivid in design with amazing rosette motifs, star motifs, large geometric patterns in the four corners and a wonderful leaf border.   Usually Shiraz rugs use three connecting medallions in the centre, this design is quite complex and executed by a good nomadic weaver around 1920.  The stars, flowers, and stylised trees circling the central lozenge medallion in an almost diamond shape are rarer to find than most designs.

Condition is good, with some minor losses at both ends, and a small old repair in the central off white medallion, but hard to see unless looking up close.   A wonderful variation of dyes, and abrash in the blues and red tones.  A beautiful antique tribal rug to be used on the floor or hung on a wall.

Book an appointment to view this antique Shiraz rug at home or please come and visit us in our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey by appointment.

If purchased online using our secure checkout, we shall courier the rug to you safely and swiftly.  We ship our rugs worldwide using excellent couriers.

FAQs

Shiraz rugs are tribal textiles woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic weavers in the Fars province of southwestern Persia, primarily around the city of Shiraz. They are renowned for their geometric motifs, stepped medallions, and rich colour palettes dominated by deep reds, terracottas, and dark blues.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a wool warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable dyes were historically employed to produce the deep indigo blues, madder reds, and cream tones typical of Southwestern Persian weaving.

Authentic pieces typically feature a flexible wool foundation, asymmetrical or symmetrical hand-tied knots, overcast double-selvedges, and distinctive geometric tribal iconography such as stylized birds, diamonds, and pole medallions.

The rich geometric patterning and deep palette make a Shiraz rug a grounding element in traditional settings, or in a contemporary space where it adds warmth, texture, and visual character alongside neutral soft furnishings.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar helps maintain the pile, while prompt spot-cleaning with cold water prevents stains from setting. Professional specialist rug cleaning is recommended every few years to preserve the natural lanolin and wool fibres.
