The piece measures 160 cm high, 93 cm wide, and 0.5 cm deep, presenting a rectangular format finished with fringed ends at the top and bottom. The design incorporates a central tree of life pattern alongside geometric medallions set against a beige field. Multiple guard borders frame the central field in navy blue, terracotta, and white.

Ideal for bringing warmth and traditional Persian tribal character to living spaces, hallways, or studies, the rug functions as a decorative floor covering suitable for diverse interior schemes.

FAQs

A Shiraz rug is a traditional hand-knotted tribal Persian carpet originating from the Fars province in southern Iran. These rugs typically feature geometric patterns, stylized flora or tree motifs, and are woven by village and nomadic artisans using natural dyes.

Antique Shiraz rugs are traditionally hand-woven using a pure wool pile on a wool warp and weft foundation. The wool is dyed using natural plant and mineral sources to produce rich shades of indigo, terracotta, and beige.

Authentic Shiraz rugs are recognised by their flexible wool foundations, geometric tribal motifs, and distinct edge selvedges often bound in contrasting wool. They frequently exhibit natural colour variations, known as abrash, due to hand-dyed yarn batches.

A tribal Shiraz rug adds warmth and historical texture when placed alongside contemporary minimalist furniture or tailored upholstery. Its intricate geometric pattern acts as a focal point on wooden or stone flooring in entryways, studies, or living areas.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar prevents dirt from settling into the wool pile. Professional hand-washing and prompt spot cleaning with cool water and mild soap will preserve the natural fibres and dye integrity.
