This hand-knotted wool Persian Shiraz tribal carpet dates from 1930. The piece displays a red and navy blue colour scheme with ivory accents. The visible decoration includes a central geometric diamond medallion, corner hexagonal spandrels, geometric stylised flora, and tribal animal motifs. The rug measures 1 cm high, 280 cm wide, and 196 cm deep, with hardly any wear and a slightly wavy appearance due to being rolled up in storage. Suitable for placement in an English Country House style interior. Additional details visible on the carpet include fringes at the ends, borders filled with repeating geometric patterns, and columns of stylised animal figures flanking the central field. The wool pile shows consistent texture across the surface, and the dyes present a rich saturation of primary tones alongside softer secondary hues. The construction reveals dense hand-knotting characteristic of South West Persia tribal weaving.

FAQs

Shiraz carpets are traditional tribal textiles created by village weavers and nomadic tribes in the Fars province of southwestern Iran. They are characterised by geometric compositions, central stepped medallions, diamond motifs, and stylised representations of local flora and fauna.

These carpets are hand-knotted using locally sourced sheep wool for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft. Symmetrical or asymmetrical knots are tied onto horizontal or transportable vertical looms, with colours derived from natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic Shiraz rugs feature a flexible wool foundation rather than cotton, leading to a softer handle. They often display small geometric animal motifs, latch-hook borders, and slight variations in pattern symmetry that reflect their nomadic, hand-woven origin.

A Shiraz carpet adds rich colour and grounding texture to contemporary rooms. It works effectively laid over natural stone or timber flooring, placed under a dining table, or paired with minimalist, neutral furniture to highlight its detailed geometric patterns.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the wool pile. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean cloth, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and arrange for professional hand-washing when deep cleaning is required.
